Time 2h30m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ devil's food cake mix
2/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
2 cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
1 bag (14 oz) caramels, unwrapped
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Generously grease or spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan. In large bowl, beat cake mix, butter and egg with electric mixer on low speed until well mixed.
  • Stir in oats until crumbly (use fingers if necessary). Reserve 1 cup cake mixture. Press remaining mixture in pan (use plastic wrap or waxed paper to press mixture if it is sticky).
  • In heavy 2-quart saucepan, heat caramels and milk over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Pour over chocolate layer in pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and pecans. Crumble reserved cake mixture into small pieces; sprinkle over top.
  • Bake 24 to 29 minutes or until caramel bubbles along edges and cake mixture on top appears crisp and dry. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen bars. Cool completely, about 1 hour 30 minutes. For bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Store tightly covered.

These bars were a disappointment. The caramel was too hard and the chocolate was too bland.

I'm not a fan of chocolate and caramel together, but these bars were surprisingly good. The flavors were well-balanced and the bars were not too sweet.

I'm not a big fan of caramel, but these bars were still really good. The chocolate was rich and creamy and the cookie crust was perfect.

These bars were really easy to make, but they didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The caramel was too runny and the chocolate was too hard.
