Christmas Caramel Bars

These are definitely going on the top of my "Christmas Baking List." Just about the yummiest treat EVER. A huge thanks to Whitney for the recipe!!

3/4 c. butter (no subs)
1 c. flour
1 c. oatmeal
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Mix together and pat 3/4 of mixture into 9X13 pan. Bake for 9 minutes in a 350 preheated oven. (I ended up coating my hands in flour to make this easier)

Meanwhile melt in microwave, stirring frequently and not overcooking:
32 unwrapped square caramels
3 T milk
3 T butter

Pour caramel sauce over baked crust. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 c chocolate chips and crumble remaining crust mixture over the top. Bake for 15 minutes longer at 350.
Do not overcook! Cut into bars when cool.

Go bake them. Right now. Mine just came out of the oven! Happy Holidays!!!
