If you've never had carmelitas, MAKE THEM NOW. These are even better than the "real" ones.
Here's how it went down in the Layton kitchen:
32 caramel squares, unwrapped (tedious but SO worth it. Do it during Mad Men)
1/2 cup heavy cream (regular milk does NOT work)3/4 cup butter, melted (finally, a recipe with melted butter!)3/4 cup brown sugar-pack it good!1 cup flour1 cup oats (I used rolled)1 teaspoon baking soda6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350. Stir caramels and cream in a pan over low heat. Pull up a chair...this takes forever. Stir until completely smooth; set aside. In a separate bowl, smash together melted butter, brown sugar, flour, oats, and baking soda. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty! Pat half of this mixture into the bottom of an 8x8" pan. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over crust. Pour caramel over chocolate chips. Crumble remaining oatmeal mixture over caramel. Return to oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned. Let them cool, then dig in! You're gonna need a glass of milk to wash these down. And seriously, get those running shoes on if you plan on indulging in these butter-happy bars!
