Caramel Oatmeal Bars
Ingredients
  • 32 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
  • 5 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
1
Collect and prepare all necessary ingredients for the recipe.
2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius), ensuring it reaches this temperature before proceeding.
3
Combine caramels and heavy cream in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture becomes smooth. Set this sauce aside for later use.
4
In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt to create the crust mixture.
5
Add melted butter to the bowl with the crust mixture, stirring until everything is well blended together.
6
Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, creating a crust base.
7
Bake this crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove it from the oven and proceed with the next step.
8
Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips and walnuts over the crust base, adding flavor and texture to the dish.
9
Drizzle the prepared sauce over the top of the crust base, followed by sprinkling the remaining oat mixture on top to create a crunchy topping.
10
Continue baking until the top is lightly toasted, approximately 12 more minutes. Remove from the oven and cut into squares while still warm.
