Creating these Better Than Anything Bars is straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these steps to ensure you achieve perfect results:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter until fully mixed.
4. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a crust.
5. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and allow it to cool slightly.
6. In another bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk with the chocolate chips until well combined.
7. Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
8. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the chocolate layer, making sure to cover it well.
9. Top the dessert with whipped topping, smoothing it into an even layer.
10. Garnish with chocolate shavings or nuts, if desired.
11. Refrigerate the dessert for at least 30 minutes to set properly.
12. Once set, slice into squares and serve chilled.

These steps will help you create a beautiful dessert that is not only a feast for the eyes but also an explosion of flavor.
