A simple, delicious crowd pleaser! Carmelitas are a go-to dessert for potlucks, care packages, and cookouts.
1 cup flour
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats (not steel cut oats)
¾ cup dark brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips (semisweet works fine too)
1 bag Kraft caramels, unwrapped and melted with
2-3 tablespoons of milk
Cut into small squares and serve.
I use a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, but the original recipe calls for a 9 x 11 inch baking pan which also works.
