List of Ingredients




CRUST:
3/4 firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 egg
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats

FILLING:
1 (14 oz.) pkg. caramels, unwrapped
1/3 cup half-and-half

TOPPING:
1 cup large cashew pieces
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks (from 10 oz. pkg.)


Recipe



Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 13x9 inch pan. In large bowl, beat brown sugar and margarine until light and fluffy; beat in egg. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Stir in flour and oats; blend well. Press into greased pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 15 to 18 minutes or until light golden brown.

Meanwhile, in medium saucepan combine caramels and half-and-half; cook over low heat until caramels and melted and mixture is smooth, stirring occasionally. Pour caramel mixture over baked crust; sprinkle with cashews and chocolate chunks.

Bake an additional 8 to 10 minutes or until chocolate is softened and caramel just begins to bubble around edges. If desired, swirl softened chocolate chunks with knife. Cool completely. If desired, refrigerate bars to set chocolate. Cut into bars. Yield: 24 to 36 bars.
