"I came up with these last Christmas when we had some leftover candies. They aren't the prettiest to look at when the chocolate and caramel melts (hence the name), but I keep getting requests from my husbands work to make some more."

ingredients

2 ¹⁄₄ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
³⁄₄ cup granulated sugar
³⁄₄ cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs
1 ¹⁄₂ cups chopped hershey's chocolate caramel kisses
1 ¹⁄₂ cups chopped reese's miniature peanut butter cups

directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
Beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla together in the bowl of your electric mixer until creamy.
Add eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually beat in flour mixture (still using electric mixer).
By hand stir in the chopped candies.
Place rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown.
These will spread a bit and gnarl up where the caramel bits are.
Be sure to let a cookie sheet cool completely before loading it up with another batch of cookie dough; a hot pan will make the cookies spread too much.
Cool cookies on the baking sheets on wire racks for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
