Wow, I just made something very similar to this last week. I used a packaged oatmeal chocolate chip cookie mix and added walnuts to the mix then melted some caramels and milk to drizzle on top. I had saved some of the dough to sprinkle around the caramel. It was so delicious. I bet this one is as well.

If you think these are too chocolaty, you could try putting half chocolate chips and half butterscotch chips. Not being a big fan of butterscotch, even I love this with butterscotch.
