Carmelitas!!

So this is one of those recipes that everyone asks for and you usually keep it a secret to it is your "special thing", but since I like you all I thought I would share. I originally had these on a trip in Park City. My sister in law Jen brought them and I could not stop eating them. It was very quick after that that I got the recipe from her and have been making them ever since. These are my husbands very favorite cookie ever. They have brown sugar, oats, chocolate and caramel what more could you want!! Give them a try and let me know how it went!!

So here is my dough, it is crumbly and you just press it everywhere till it fills the pan.

Here are your ingredients for your caramel. I used to use the clear wrapped ones, but between how hard they were to unwrap and the flavor I replaced them with Werther's soft caramels. My kids love to help unwrap them and the flavor is rich and amazing.

Here they are after a minute in the microwave, don't freak out they will smooth out really soon.

See! One more minute in the microwave and the caramel is ready to go!

Here they are almost all the way put together. Sooo Good!!

Carmelitas

Just FYI this recipe is for a 9x13 pan. I doubled it and made it in a cookie sheet. I always need more than just a 9x13 pan!!

2 Pkg. Werthers soft caramels

3 Tbs. Evaporated milk

2 Cups Flour

2 Cups Quick Oats

1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1 1/2 tsp. Salt

1 Cup Melted Butter

1 Pkg. Chocolate Chips

Start by making your caramel. Unwrap all of you caramels and add the evaporated milk. Microwave for a minute, stir and microwave for one more minute. The caramel should be smooth and soft. Set aside. Place all the rest of the dry ingredients but chocolate chip in a large bowl. Pour the melted butter over the top and mix until the butter is combined well and the mixture is crumbly. Spread half of the dough into a 9x13 greased pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with chocolate chips. Next pour your caramel evenly over the top of the chocolate chips. Finish by sprinkling the rest of the dough on top. Press down slightly then return to the oven for another ten minutes. These are great alone, but if you want to be real bad serve them hot with ice cream. They have the caramel and chocolate built in and they are amazing!!
