These caramel commotion bars are no joke. They look so fancy with all of those layers, but they were really easy to make. You do need to do some dishes after, but how impressive are they? They are very similar to a Snickers bar, but with a chocolate cookie layer on the bottom.

These caramel commotion bars are no joke. They look so fancy with all of those layers, but they were really easy to make. You do need to do some dishes after, but how impressive are they? They are very similar to a Snickers bar, but with a chocolate cookie layer on the bottom. One word – heaven. Rich, chocolaty, peanut buttery, nougat heaven. I had a lot of fun making these. I am always shocked and amazed when I make candy and it turns out. Even though these bars look complicated, they really are simple. A few simple ingredients turn into something amazing, with different textures and colors. I love these so much.

This recipe comes from the Eagle website, and even though the recipe is exactly the same, I wrote it a little differently. I broke it into layers. It just made more sense to me this way.
