My mom used to make these and from the first time I tasted one, I. Was. Hooked! They are Chewy Caramel Nut Bars. I actually came across the recipe at Christmas-cookies.com and have been making them ever since!
Don’t they look delicious? They are!
Ingredients:
3/4 C Butter melted
1 C Oatmeal
1 C Flour
3/4 C Brown Sugar
1 tps Baking Soda
32 Caramels unwrapped
3 Tbsp of milk
1 Tbsp of butter
1 C Chocolate chips
1/2 C walnuts (I use more)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. In a small mixing bowl, combine butter, flour, oatmeal, brown sugar,
and baking soda; mix well. Put 3/4 of butter-oatmeal mixture in an ungreased 9×13 pan, pressing evenly over the bottom of pan. Bake for 10 minutes. In a saucepan, combine the caramels, butter, and milk and heat, stirring, until the caramels are melted. Pour caramel mixture over the baked crust and sprinkle with chocolate
chips and nuts. Top with remaining butter-oatmeal mixture. Bake for 15 minutes more. Cool and cut into bars.
Perfection!

I make these every Christmas also and everyone loves them although my recipe is a little different. Instead of using caramels the one I have calls for a jar of caramel topping and you mix it with a little flour and drizzle it over. You’ve inspired me to start my holiday baking:)

Hello! I am a follower of your blog, and have been for a while! I am reaching out to the blogs I love as well as my readers for a little help and advice. I was nominated a while back for the Top Blog of the Year on Blog Guidebook. I am now in the top ten, and to reach the final round, which is the top TWO, I must beg and plead for votes. If you could in any way help me out, maybe if you could throw a bone to me on your blog, or if you require, I can do a giveaway! I have to find methods to gain voters and your help in some way would be greatly appreciated. Please met me know either way,as well as any ideas you may have. Thank you in advance! My blog is http://danajeanward.blogspot.com and the link to the voting page is http://www.blogguidebook.com. There is no registration, signup, or email required to vote, which is great, but finding routes to gain supporters is tough! I look forward to hearing from you!
