Description

Decadent Carmelita Bars combine chewy oats, rich chocolate, and gooey caramel, making them the perfect indulgent treat for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until crumbly.
  3. Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips and drizzle half the caramel sauce over it.
  4. Crumble the remaining oat mixture on top, drizzle with the rest of the caramel, and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Cool before cutting into bars.

Notes

For extra chewy bars, refrigerate before cutting. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
