## How to Make Caramelitas

### Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.

### Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until combined.

### Step 3: Assemble the Bars

Press half of the dough evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Sprinkle caramel bits over the crust, then top with chocolate chips. Crumble the remaining dough over the top.

### Step 4: Bake

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the caramel is bubbly. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
