How to Make Chocolate Caramel Oatmeal Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 13x9x2 inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Spray the foil with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, beat the cake mix, softened butter, and egg with an electric mixer on low speed for about 1 minute, or until the mixture is crumbly.
- Stir in the oats, using your hands if necessary to ensure even distribution.
- Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the oat mixture. Press the remaining oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake for 14-18 minutes, or until the crust is light golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips and nuts (if using) evenly over the hot crust.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the caramel topping and flour until smooth.
- Drizzle the caramel mixture evenly over the chocolate chips and nuts.
- Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture evenly over the caramel layer.
- Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the bars are golden brown and the topping is set.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the foil overhang. Cut into squares and serve.
