- Beat the butter, brown sugar and sugar together.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla essence and beat until smooth.

- Spread half of the chocolate chip cookie dough in an even layer in the base of the prepared pan.
- Spread over the caramel.
- Top with the remaining cookie dough in little blobs.
- (Optional to sprinkle over more M&Ms.)
- Bake for 20-30 minutes. The top and sides will be golden and set but the middle will wobble.
- Place in the fridge until set completely to cut into neat squares or dig in with a spoon straight from the oven!
