How to Make Caramel Chocolate Cookie Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x13 inch rectangular baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 large egg.
- Add 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and mix with an electric mixer until the mixture is crumbly.
- Press half of the crumbly mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 14 ounces caramels, unwrapped, and ¼ cup milk. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the caramels are melted and smooth.
- Remove the partially baked cookie base from the oven. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped nuts (your choice!).
- Drizzle the caramel mixture evenly over the chocolate chips and nuts.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumbly mixture over the caramel layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bars are golden brown.
- Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes before loosening the edges.
- Cool completely before cutting into 2x1 inch bars.
