Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Melt the butter, let it cool, and pour into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir (I just used a wooden spoon) until a soft dough forms. It should be just slightly crumbly. If the dough feels wet and heavy, add a little more flour.
- Press 3/4 of the dough into a 9×13 baking dish. Reserve the remaining 1/4 for topping. Bake for about 13 minutes or until the top is barely golden brown.
- While crust is baking, unwrap caramels and melt in the microwave with the cream. Stir until the mixture is smooth and pourable.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the baked crust. Pour the melted caramel over the chocolate chips. Crumble the remaining dough with your fingers (add a little more flour if it's not crumbly enough) and sprinkle over the top of the bars. Bake for another 15-20 minutes, until the top layer is golden brown. Let stand for several hours or until the caramel is cooled.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 or 9x9inch baking pan with parchment paper (2 pieces to wrap up both sides), or foil to cover the sides, then nonstick spray. Set it aside.

- Add in the flour, oats, baking soda and salt and stir it together until you have a nice soft cookie dough.
- Press half of the oatmeal cookie mixture into the prepared pan. And set the other half aside.
- Bake the bottom layer for 10 minutes, and remove it from the oven.
- Add the caramels and heavy cream to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each time until you can stir it completely smooth.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the cooked crust.
- Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the chocolate chips and crust.
- Press pieces of the remaining oatmeal cookie dough between your hands to flatten, and place them around the top of the caramel, covering the caramel as much as you can.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake the bars for another 14 to 16 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool completely, this may take 3 to 4 hours. If you want to speed up the cooling time, let the pan cool to touch, then add it to the fridge to chill for another hour or two.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL OATMEAL BARS
These are to die for! Now that I've got nut allergies to deal with in my household, I make these without the nuts and with extra crumb mixture (1 1/2 times the crumb mix), but the nuts are really good to cut the sweetness. The recipe is originally from a land-o-lakes pamphlet. Part of prep time is cool time.
