How to Make Caramel Swirl Hunks
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 13x9 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished bars out easily.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Spread the dulce de leche evenly over the batter.
- Top with the remaining batter and swirl or smear the dulce de leche into the batter using a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. If the edges are browning too quickly, tent the pan loosely with foil.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before refrigerating or freezing for at least 1 hour to allow them to set completely.
- Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into large hunks or blocks and serve.
