Carmelitas



2 C flour (I tried 1 C whole wheat, 1 C all-purpose, and it tastes great!)
2 C oatmeal (regular or quick cook; we use quick most often)
1 1/2 C brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 C butter, melted (I use less, about 1 C)
2 C semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate!!)
1 jar Smuckers caramel ice cream topping (Fat Free... not like it matters here....)
6 T flour

Preheat oven to 350. Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda and salt together. Stir well. 

Add in melted butter and mix well to form crumbs.  Press half of the crumbs into a 9x13 pan. Then, bake crust at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from the oven, and sprinkle chocolate chips over the crust. Blend caramel and 6 T flour together.  Then, pour the caramel mix over the chocolate chips. Sprinkle with the rest of the oatmeal crumb mix. Continue baking for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. (The bars may look gooey, depending on how much butter you use... do not over bake! Mine don't look gooey because I use less butter; they're a bit crumbly, but excellent none-the-less) Chill for 1-2 hours before cutting and serving.

  1. This sounds gorgeous. For some reason I imagine them tasting of cinnamon even though there isn't any in the recipe!
