A bar cookie with an oatmeal base and chocolate, caramel and nut filling, and oat topping.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (14 ounce) soft caramel candies, unwrapped

  • 1/3 cup milk

  • 2 cups unbleached flour

  • 2 cups quick-cooking or regular oats

  • 1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 cup margarine or butter, softened

  • 1 package (6 ounce) semisweet chocolate chips

My mother got this exact same recipe off the back of a box of Quaker Oats back in the 1960's. Loved them then, still love them. They are always a big hit with the kids and grandkids and adults.

Love these!! I have made these every year at Christmas for the past 30 years. Everyone loves them and asks me for the recipe. I got the recipe from a friend who called them "Oatmeal Carmelitas".
