    Recipe Introduction


    This is one of my favorite bar cookies. Since having my heart attack and bypass surgery back in December, they are no longer on the menu. They are yummy though. Hope you enjoy them!


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 c plus 1T flour, divided
    • 1 c quick cooking oats
    • 3/4 c packed brown sugar
    • 1/2 t baking soda
    • 1/4 t salt
    • 3/4 c butter or margarine, melted
    • 1 c (6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
    • 1 jar (12-1/4 oz) caramel ice cream topping
    • 1/2 c chopped walnuts


    Instructions


    1. In a bowl combine 1 c of flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Stir in butter. Mix well. Press into a greased 9x13" pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes or until set. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
      Combine caramel topping with remaining flour until blended. Drizzle over chips. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake 20-22 minutes longer until bubbly. Cool completely. Cut into bars. Makes 3 dozen.
    2. My variation--I have reserved about 1 c of the crust mixture and mixed it with the nuts then sprinkled it on top before baking it the last time. I've also skipped mixing the flour with the caramel. It
      doesn't seem to make much difference--just another bowl to clean up. The original recipe says to do it so I included it here. It's a rich dessert no matter how you make it!
