Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 bag caramel candies
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. The mixture will be thick and crumbly.
Press half of the dough mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base layer. Reserve the other half for the top layer.
Bake the base layer in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven.
While the base is baking, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the slightly baked base layer. Pour the melted caramel over the chocolate chips, spreading it evenly.
Crumble the reserved dough mixture over the top of the caramel layer, ensuring some of the caramel is still visible.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the Yummy Bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or rectangles.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
