How to Make Crunchy Caramel Chocolate Layer Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 2 cups rolled oats in a large bowl.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press all but 1 cup of the crumb mixture into the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- While the crust bakes, combine 14 ounces caramels and ½ cup heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently, until caramels are completely melted and smooth.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until well combined.
- Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the baked crust.
- Sprinkle ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips over the caramel layer.
- Crumble the remaining 1 cup of oat mixture over the chocolate chips.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden brown.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
