How to Make Chocolate Caramel Crunch Bars
- In a medium saucepan, combine caramels and water. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until caramels are melted and smooth.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened margarine and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined.
- Reserve 1 cup of the oat mixture for the topping.
- Press the remaining oat mixture into an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the baked layer.
- Drizzle the melted caramel mixture over the chocolate chips.
- Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of oat mixture over the caramel.
- Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden brown and the bars are set.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 2x1 inch bars.
