*Update, the day after I made these my husband's boss asked when I was going to make those chocolate caramel things I made last year. So of course he took her some the next day. Whatever makes the boss happy!

Chocolate Caramel Oatmeal Bars
1 ½ cups flour
1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
¼ tsp. salt
½ tsp. baking powder
1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
1 cup plus 2 Tbs. butter or margarine, melted
1 (14 oz) bag caramels (about 48)
½ cup whipping cream
1 (12 oz) package milk chocolate chips
In a large bowl combine the first 6 ingredients to form a crumbly mixture. Unwrap caramels. Melt caramels and whipping cream in a saucepan over low heat. Sprinkle half of crumbly mixture into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over baked mixture and top with melted caramel mixture.
Sprinkle remaining crumbly mixture on top. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
Make a day ahead or several hours ahead to allow time for the caramel to set. Makes 2 dozen bars.

I don't know, I think Bars for the Bishop had a nicer ring to it. I am excited to try these. Tomorrow, when I'm not so full from all the amazing cranberry cream cheese spread you made...
Just had one of these after my lunch- whoa! This one is a keeper. Thanks Julie!
