1/4 cup Evaporated Milk
1 cup All-purpose Flour
1 cup quick-cooking Rolled Oats

Recipe
Preheat oven to 350-F degrees and lightly grease a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan.
Melt caramels and evaporated milk in heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat source and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and melted butter. Press half of crumbs into the bottom of prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven. Evenly sprinkle half of the chocolate chips and pecans over the crust. Pour and spread caramel mixture to cover chips and pecans. Mix remaining chocolate chips with crumb mixture and sprinkle over the top.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes more, or until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting into 24 bars.
