How to Make Oatmeal Carmelitas
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour, ½ cup rolled oats, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Cut in ½ cup cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press half of the crumb mixture (about 3 cups) into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Set aside the remaining crumb mixture for topping.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 6 tablespoons butter, ½ cup brown sugar, and 3 tablespoons flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Remove the crust from the oven. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped nuts.
- Drizzle the warm caramel mixture evenly over the chocolate and nuts.
- Sprinkle with the reserved crumb mixture.
- Return to the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool completely in the pan.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the filling is firm.
- Cut into bars and enjoy!
