Oatmeal Caramel Bars

I love these yummy bars. I got this recipe from my old neighbor Lindsay.


Combine:
1 1/2 C. flour
1 1/2 c. quick oats
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. melted butter

Mix together and sprinkle 1/2 of the mixture into an ungreased 9x13 pan. Bake @ 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Combine 40 Kraft caramels and 1/4 c. evaporated milk in a glass dish. Melt in microwave 1 minute at a time until melted (about 2 1/2 minutes). Stir between each minute of cooking.

Pour caramel mixture over baked crust, sprinkle with 3/4 to 1 bag of milk chocolate chips, then sprinkle the rest of the uncooked crust mixture on top and bake for another 12-15 minutes. Let cool, cut and serve.

  2. I've made these before with caramel sauce (like the ice cream topping) instead of caramels and evaporated milk. We call them carameletas.
