How to Make Chocolate Caramel Oatmeal Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cut 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter into 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup granulated sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press ¾ of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle evenly with 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 14 ounces of caramels with ½ cup of evaporated milk over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the melted caramel mixture evenly over the chocolate chips.
- Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of crumb mixture over the caramel layer.
- Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the caramel is bubbly.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. (Approximately 1 hour)
- Cut into squares. For larger bars, cut into 9-12 squares. For smaller bars, cut into 16-20 squares.
