Back in high school I had a friend whose mom would make caramelitas. I didn’t know what that meant except that they were SO GOOD and I’ve been making them ever since. Now, they are my husband’s favorite treat that I make which is funny because it’s probably the easiest and quickest recipe to whip up and bake.

It’s basically like an oat based cookie bar base filled with ooey gooey salted caramel and chocolate. Sound heavenly? It is. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you’ve got yourself an award winning dessert. You might want to double this batch and use a bigger pan because they go QUICK. Try them out and let me know how quickly they make it into your weekly rotation. ENJOY!
