Just trying something new and know several people that love caramel, so I decided to go with this easy recipe. Original recipe from Pillsbury's Bake Off Contest Prize Winning Desserts magazine.

Number Of Ingredients 11

BASE
2 cup(s) flour
2 cup(s) quick-cooking oats
1 1/2 cup(s) packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1 1/4 cup(s) butter, softened
FILLING
1 jar(s) (12 oz) caramel topping
3 tablespoon(s) flour
1 cup(s) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup(s) chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350. Line 13x9 inch pan with foil and then spray with non-stick baking spray.
  • In large bowl, beat all "Base" ingredients until crumbly. Remove 1/2 of the mixture and put in pan, pressing down to form crust. Bake 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix caramel sauce and 3 tablespoons of flour. Sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts over baked crust. Spoon caramel sauce on top.
  • Sprinkle remaining crust mixture over the top. Bake at 350 for about 18-22 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 1 hour, then refrigerate 1 - 2 hours or until filling is set.
  • Lift from the pan by grabbing foil. Peal foil away from sides and cut into bars. Store in tightly covered container.
