How to Make Nutty Chocolate Caramel Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Add 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened. Stir until just moistened.
  3. Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture for topping.
  4. Press the remaining crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
  7. In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup all-purpose flour and 1 (14 ounce) can caramel topping (such as Carnation). Stir until smooth.
  8. Drizzle the caramel mixture evenly over the chocolate and walnut layer.
  9. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the caramel layer.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the caramel is bubbly.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
  12. Cut into bite-sized pieces and enjoy!
