Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup brown sugar
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup butter softened
14 oz pkg caramels unwrapped
¼ cup milk
11.5 oz bag milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt together. Stir in the softened butter and mix until crumbly.
Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the caramels and milk. Warm over low heat, stirring constantly until the caramel is melted and smooth.
Remove the bottom crust from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top. Pour the melted caramel evenly over the chocolate.
Crumble the remaining flour/oats over the caramel. Bake for an additional 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars. Serves 15.
