Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Caramel Bars

Posted By on Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 9:00 AM

If you have fillings, beware: These bars are oooey-gooey sticky deliciousness. The recipe comes from the back of the Betty Crocker Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie mix bag (yes, this not from scratch; it is semi-homemade. Shhh, don't tell.) The most difficult part making these bars was unwrapping the 35 caramel candies -- a tedious task. With all the caramel and chocolate, these bars go well with a tall glass of milk.

So, you will need:

1 bag Betty Crocker Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie mix

1 egg

1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened

35 caramels

1/4 cup milk

And then...

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 8x8 or 9x9 pan. (And grease WELL, these suckers are sticky.)

Stir together egg and butter. Stir in cookie mix (dough will be stiff). Reserve 1/2 cup of dough. Spread the rest of the dough in the pan.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until crust is golden brown. Meanwhile, microvave caramels and milk for 2-3 minutes on high, stirring after every minute.

Spread caramel mixture over crust. Drop reserved dough in blobs over the caramel. Bake again for 15-20 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.
