Ingredients
  

  • Butter unsalted - ¾ cup, melted
  • All-purpose flour - 1 cup
  • Old-fashioned oats - 1 cup
  • Brown sugar - ¾ cup
  • Baking soda - 1 teaspoon
  • Baking caramels - 11 oz
  • Heavy cream - ½ cup
  • Chocolate chips - 1 cup

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to a temperature of 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper for ease of removal.
  • In a suitable saucepan, combine the caramels and heavy cream. Place the saucepan over medium heat, ensuring that you stir the mixture continuously to prevent burning. Once the mixture achieves a smooth consistency, remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a separate, medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, oats, and baking soda. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until a homogenous mixture is achieved.
  • Carefully press half of the aforementioned oat mixture into the prepared baking dish to form a uniform layer.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Upon removal from the oven, evenly distribute the chocolate chips over the baked layer. Subsequently, pour the previously prepared caramel mixture over the chocolate chips, ensuring an even spread.
  • Finish by evenly distributing the remaining oat mixture over the caramel layer.
  • Return the baking dish to the oven and allow it to bake for an additional duration of 18-20 minutes or until done.
  • Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and set aside, allowing the Caramelitas to cool thoroughly. Only once cooled completely, proceed to slice and serve.
