Cookie Caramel Bars


Surprise suprsie!! I am posting a recipe--

My neighbor made this for a church activity- contest. Unfortuantely I am not in her ward and did not try these, although she won the contest and she posted a picture and the recipe on her blog. I am definitely going to try these, they sound very yummy.

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cubs old fashioned oats
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp butter or margarine melted
1 (14 oz) bag caramels - (48)
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 (12 oz) package milk chocolate chips

Combine first 6 ingredients to form crumbly misture. Unwrap caramels. Melt caramels and whipping cream in a suacepan over low heat. Sprinkle half of crumbly mixture into greased 9X13 inch pan. Back at 350 for 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle choclate chips over baked mixture and top with melted caramel mixture. Sprinkle remaining crumbly mixture on top. Bakd at 350 for 15 minutes. Make a day ahead to allow time for caramel to set.

Makes 2 dozen bars.
