    These cookie dough caramel bars are simply a dream! If you love all things cookie dough and gooey caramel, you will love these. These bars are paleo, vegan, no-bake, gluten-free, dairy-free, simple to make, and so delicious!

    This was inspired by my caramel cookie bars! I also like to pair these with a batch of my fudgy flourless brownies.
