At first glance the recipe may seem to a little more involved than your typical cookie recipe, but don’t worry, they still come together in less than an hour. First off, you’ll combine the dry ingredients and melted butter. Mix everything until it comes together into a crumble. You’ll then press the half of the crumble mixture into an 8×8 baking dish to form a crust and bake for about 10 minutes. As the crust bakes, heat the caramels and half a cup of heavy cream in a saucepan and stir until completely smooth.
Take the crust out of the oven and sprinkle a cup of chocolate chips over the top and then pour the melted caramel over them. The final step will be sprinkling the remaining oat mixture on top and baking the bars for an additional 18-20 minutes. We do recommend waiting until the bars have fully cooled to cut into them. It may seem like an impossible task, but it will help them keep their shape. The final results are absolutely worth the wait! Make them for your next special occasion and we’re sure you’ll agree!
