1 teaspoon baking soda
32 caramels, unwrapped
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons milk
1 package (6 oz) chocolate chips, about 1 cup

Would make this again.
These were really good, however were almost impossible to get out of the pan. I did make a little more of the oatmeal mixture because it didn't look like there was enough. I also added a few more chocolate chips. The carmel seemed to go straight to the bottom of the pan and just stuck there. So they were good, but it was lumpy mess! three stars
