Carmelitas

Easy and good.  Kind of like a caramel brownie with an oatmeal cookie instead of the brownie.  I usually double this as they stay fresh for days.

11 oz bag of caramels
1/2 C heavy cream
3/4 C butter, melted
1 C brown sugar
1 C oats
1 C flour
12 oz semi sweet or milk chocolate chips

In a small saucepan combine the caramel and heavy cream.  melt over low heat until smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, flour, and oats.
Spray an  8x8 inch pan and pat half of the crust mixture into the bottom of the pan.
Bake crust at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, do not turn oven off.
Once the crust is done  sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot crust.  Then, spread the warm caramel over the chocolate chip layer.
Then, sprinkle using hands to separate the remaining crust dough over the caramel.  Place back in the hot  oven for 15 minutes.
Allow to cool completely (may be cooled in fridge for several hours). Cut in small squares.
