Caramel And Chocolate Gooey Bars

• 3/4 cups Salted Butter
• 1-1/4 cup Rolled Oats
• 3/4 cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 cups Flour
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
• 2 cups Store Bought Caramel Sauce (or For A Homemade Recipe Please Visit Related Post)

1. Line an 8x8 pan with aluminum foil. Heavily spray the pan with cooking spray. These bars will stick to the pan! So please spray heavily!
2. Preheat oven to 350 F.
3. In a large microwave safe bowl melt the butter. Melt it for 30 seconds at a time until fully melted.
4. Then mix in the oats, brown sugar, baking soda, flour and vanilla and mix to combine everything with the melted butter.
5. Pour half of the butter/oat mixture into the heavily sprayed pan. Spread mixture out evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The mixture will still be somewhat soupy.
6. Take it out of the oven and set it on the counter to rest for 3-4 minutes.
7. Then sprinkle chocolate chips over the mixture.
8. Pour the caramel sauce over the chocolate chips. Add the remaining butter/oat mixture on top and carefully and evenly spread it.
9. Place pan on top of a cookie sheet just in case it bubbles up and spills over.
10. Place pan and cookie sheet in oven and bake for 14-16 minutes. Take pan out of oven and let it cool on counter completely before cutting into squares.
11. These bars are extremely gooey. I cut mine, put them in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer. Mine never completely froze. They are delicious coming out of the freezer, especially on a nice warm day.
