¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup melted butter
2 ½ cups semi sweet chocolate chips

In a saucepan, melt the soft caramels, and the heavy cream until it becomes a smooth.
Pour melted caramel over the chocolate chips and oat mixture. Carefully spread the caramel until it covers the chocolate.
Pour the rest of the oat mixture over the caramel and spread out evenly.
Add the other ½ cup of chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust has turned a golden brown. (Times and temperatures may vary from oven to oven). Allow to cool COMPLETELY before cutting into bars.
