Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels
3 tablespoons milk
¾ cup margarine
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
¾ cup packed brown sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Peel the plastic wrapping from the caramels and melt them in a saucepan over medium heat along with the milk. ( If using a microwave, use a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramels and milk in the microwave at medium power for 2 to 3 minutes, checking every 20 to 30 seconds.) Stir and set aside.
  • Melt the margarine and combine with flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda and salt.
  • Press slightly more than half the oat mixture into a greased 11 x 7 inch pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the mixture, then pour the caramel over the chips. Top with remaining oat mixture.
  • Bake for 20 minutes; cool. Cut into bars.

I found these bars to be a bit dry. I think I'll add some more butter next time.

I made these bars with almond butter instead of peanut butter, and they were still delicious.

These bars are a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. I always have a few containers of oatmeal in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.
