Description

Delightful bars featuring a rich mix of chocolate and sweet caramel with chewy oats.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix in melted butter until crumbly.
  3. Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts over it, then drizzle with caramel sauce. Crumble the remaining oat mixture on top.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool in the pan before cutting.

Notes

Use quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Let the bars cool completely for clean cuts.
