How to Make Caramel Chocolate Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup margarine until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Reserve 3 tablespoons of this dry mixture. Add the remaining dry ingredients to the wet ingredients along with 2 cups rolled oats; stir to combine.
  4. Press half of the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and sprinkle evenly with 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved 3 tablespoons of dry mixture with 1/2 cup caramel topping (store-bought or homemade).
  7. Drizzle the caramel mixture evenly over the chocolate chips.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the caramel layer.
  9. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and set. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
