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.

  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.

  12. Cut into bite-sized pieces and enjoy!
