caramelitas

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease or line an 8×8 baking dish.
2. Combine melted butter and brown sugar in a large bowl until smooth.
3. Add oats, flour, baking soda, salt and vanilla until combined.
4. Press half of your oat mixture into the bottom of the pan and cook for 10 minutes.
5. Remove pan from the oven and pour a generous drizzle of caramel all over the top to completely cover the base. Sprinkle with sea salt (If you’re already using salted caramel you can skip the salt)
6. Sprinkle a layer of chocolate chips on top of that until covered (I just guess and sprinkle until it looks right – about 3/4 cup)
7. Crumble the rest of your oat mixture on top sprinkling it evenly until the caramel and chocolate chips are mostly covered.
8. Return to the oven for about 15 more minutes or until perfectly golden brown. It should be oozing!
9. This is the hardest part but it’s best if you let them cool for at least 10-15 min for easier cutting and more enjoyable eating but when you’re ready, plate them up with some ice cream and ENJOY!
