Layered Chocolate Brownies

adapted from Nestle.

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dark cocoa
1/2 cup cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 large eggs, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup caramel bits (by Kraft - or use 1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping)
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil, leaving extra over the handles. Spray foil with cooking spray.

Sift flour, cocoas and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar by hand in large bowl until creamy. Add 2 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract; mix well. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Reserve 3/4 cup batter. Spread remaining batter into prepared baking pan. (It will be THICK and STICKY. Spray your spatula with cooking spray before smoothing in pan for ease.) Sprinkle white chips and caramel bits over batter. Beat remaining egg and reserved batter in same large bowl until combined. Stir in semi-sweet chips. Spread evenly over top.

BAKE for 30 to 35 minutes or until center is set. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Lift out of pan using foil handles; cut into bars.
