DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Peel the plastic wrapping from the caramels and melt them in a saucepan over medium heat along with the milk. ( If using a microwave, use a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramels and milk in the microwave at medium power for 2 to 3 minutes, checking every 20 to 30 seconds.) Stir and set aside.
Melt the margarine and combine with flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda and salt.
Press slightly more than half the oat mixture into a greased 11 x 7 inch pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the mixture, then pour the caramel over the chips. Top with remaining oat mixture.
Bake for 20 minutes; cool. Cut into bars.

This is nearly identical to one of my favorite dessert recipes. My technique is a little different, but the basic idea is the same--and really delicious! I spread about 2/3 of the oat mixture in the pan, bake for 12 minutes, then cover with the caramel and a mixture of the leftover oats and the chocolate chips before baking another 15 minutes. This gives a nice firm base to the bar, and a gooey blended top layer! Yum!

I brought these bar cookies into work and everyone raved about them. At least ten people asked for the recipe. It was very easy to make and assemble.

These are excellent! Something to make the recipe even easier is to substitute caramel sauce for the wrapped caramels (omit milk, too!). They turned out just as delicious with this change. I also double the oatmeal base as it is much better with a thicker bottom.

The taste is great, but the consistency is total mush - way more than just chewy. If I make these again, I might double the amount of the crust (oat mixture) for a more solid base. I also might soften the butter instead of melting it.

I made this for a 4th of July cook-out, and they were gone within a couple hours. I didn't have an 11x7 pan, so I used an 8x8 and it turned out perfect. My husband is already begging me to make this again. Simple and delicious!

The recipe I have for this is doubled and bakes in a 9x12 pan. Also, pecans are added with the chocolate chips and caramel. The caramel are melted with evaporated milk. Very rich, and very good.

Easy and delicious. Lots of requests for the recipe and the people at work yelled at me for breaking their diets. :D The crust seemed way too greasy with melted butter during prep, but once it's baked, it's fine. You definitely don't need to grease the bottom of the pan, but the sides are probably smart, since the caramel might stick.

This recipe has gottn me compliment after compliment! They disappear so quickly and they are super easy to make. I would like to try doubling the oatmeal mixture like some have suggested, but haven't gotten around to it...everytime I make them I figure why mess with success. Thanks so much for a great recipe!
