The Best Carmelito's Recipe |
Author: LifeShouldCostLess.com
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 25 mins
Total time: 35 mins
- 2 Cups Flour
- 2 Cups Oats
- 1 &1/2 C Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1&1/4 C Salted Butter (room temp, not margarine)
- 1 Jar Mrs Richardson's Butterscotch Caramel
- 1 Bag Chocolate Chips (approximately two cups)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, or a mixer, add the first five ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Press half of this oatmeal mixture into the bottom of a 9x13" pan to create a crust. I use a parchment paper lined pan to make it easier to pull them out and cut into bars later.
- Bake for 17 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Remove lid from caramel sauce and microwave it for one minute. Spread evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the caramel.
- Crumble and evenly sprinkle the remaining oatmeal mixture. Gently press it down evenly to combine it.
- Bake an additional 8 minutes or until the top is slightly starting to brown around the edges.
- Remove from oven, place on a cooling rack and let cool.
- Once cooled cut into bars and serve!
As a variation you can change the chocolate chips to white chocolate and/or add a half a cup of chopped walnuts before you add the oatmeal topping.
