These have been favorites in my house for as long as I can remember! They're sweet, gooey, and so delicious. They're similar to another recipe on Zaar, but were just different enough that I decided to post them anyway. We often double this and bake it in a jelly roll pan. Prep time does not include 1-2 hours to chill after baking.

Categories     Chocolate     Cookies     Dessert     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 sticks unsalted butter, softened
3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
2 1/4 cups light brown sugar
1 jar 16-oz dulce de leche (1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x13-inch metal baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk 3 cups of the flour with the baking soda and salt. Add the butter, oats, and brown sugar and mix until combined.
  • In a small bowl, mix the dulce de leche with the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour. Pat half of the oat mixture into the baking pan.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Scatter 1/2 of the chocolate chips and pecans over the crust. Dollop half of the dulce de leche mixture on top. Crumble the remaining oat mixture on top. Cover with the remaining chocolate chips, pecans, and dulce de leche.
  • Bake for about 35 minutes or until the edges are set. Let stand uncovered at room temperature overnight. Cut the carmelitas into bars and serve.
  • NOTE: Dulce de leche, the Latin caramel sauce is available at most supermarkets and specialty food shops.
  • MAKE AHEAD: Once cooled, the carmelitas can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan over low heat until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
  • For a chewier caramel, cook the sugar mixture until it reaches a dark amber color.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can toast the marshmallows under the broiler, but watch them closely so that they don't burn.
  • Carmelitas can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
