When you have a craving for something rich and gooey, these will do the trick!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter, room temp
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 11 oz bag carmel bits
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips, semi sweet or dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease a 9x9 pan and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar together. Add flour, oats and baking soda and mix until well combined.
- Press half the dough into the bottom of the pan and bake for ten minutes.
- While the dough bakes, in a small kettle over medium heat, melt the caramel together with the cream. Stir frequently until well combined.
- When the dough has baked for 10 minutes, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot dough in a uniform layer.
- Top the chocolate chips with the caramel, spreading it evenly.
- Crumble the remaining dough over the chocolate and caramel layers. Bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and done.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely so the caramel can set up. Serve & enjoy!!
