Many of you have demanded, er, asked very politely ;) for this recipe so I thought I'd go ahead and post it. I'm not even going to pretend these are diet! In fact, I'm not going to give you the nutritional info at all. Just know that if you eat more than one you'd better go for a nice long jog!
Oatmeal Carmelitas
CRUST
2 cups flour
2 cups oatmeal
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups butter, softened
FILLING
1 (12.5 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping
3 TBS flour
1 cup milk chocolate chips
*1/2 cup walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all crust ingredients and mix until crumbly; press half of the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate chips and *nuts over the hot crust. In a small bowl combine caramel topping and 3 TBS flour; drizzle over chocolate and nuts. Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture over the top of the caramel.
Bake for 18-22 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting into 30 pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
*I never add the nuts but if you do toasting them first adds a great flavor to the bar.

Thank you! Thank you! Jaimey will be thrilled!! I'm going to try them with spelt flakes instead of oatmeal. Or, maybe I shouldn't. I might eat too many!! LOL Thanks Fran for being sweet about the arm twisting to get you to post these wonderful cookies.
Oh, these were so good, Fran. I liked them so much that I am going to purposefully forget that you posted the recipe.
Just thinking about them makes me feel I need to go jogging.
