Gooey Butterscotch Bars

Preheat oven to 350 F.

For the crust:
In a large bowl, combine sugar cookie mix, butterscotch pudding mix, butter and egg. Mix together until well incorporated. Press into an ungreased 9 x 13 pan and bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven.

For the topping:
Unwrap the caramels. In a large saucepan, combine caramels and evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat, continuously stirring until caramels are melted. Remove from heat and stir in nuts and vanilla extract.

Pour caramel over the cookie crust and top with butterscotch chips.

Cool completely, cut into small squares and serve with a giant glass of milk.
