Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.75 cups butter, softened
- 1.25 cups rolled oats
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 30 pieces caramels, unwrapped
- 0.75 cups raisins
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, butter, rolled oats, and salt. Mix until crumbly.
Press two-thirds of the crumb mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, forming a solid base layer. Set the remaining crumb mixture aside for later.
Place the unwrapped caramels and sweetened condensed milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the caramels have melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Remove the caramel mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Sprinkle the raisins evenly over the base layer in the pan. Pour the caramel mixture over the raisins, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Crumble the reserved oat mixture over the top of the caramel layer, ensuring it covers most of the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your homemade raisin caramel bars!
