Caramelitas



As you might have noticed I don't post to many recepies for Sweet Stuff on my blog. I guess I'm more of a food person than a sweets person. This recipe though, for some reason, caught my attention and I just had to try it. Even though I'm not a big chocolate fan this is really good. The predominant taste is Caramel and that I do like...

Ingredients;

32 caramel squares ( I used some fudge like I found at Publix)
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup melted butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

Combine caramels and cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until caramel squares are melted and  it's completely smooth then set aside to cool. 
In a separate bowl combine melted butter, sugar, flour, oats and baking soda. Pat half of the mixture into a  8"x8" pan covered with parchment paper. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes. 
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the crust then pour the caramel mixture over the chocolate chips. Crumble remaining oatmeal mixture over caramel. Return to oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. The edges should be slightly brown. Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting into small squares. If the caramel still feels  to sticky put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours then try.
