baking tuesday – carmelitas – townie

 

like bumpkin i saw this recipe on pinterest and it was right up our alley!  chocolate and caramel YUM!

i doubled the original recipe and used tj’s fleur de sel caramel – i don’t think i used enough caramel though..  they turned out a bit dry and the crumb topping was really crumby and dry.    might try these again — might not — looks like bumpkin had better luck with these!

 

 

Carmelitas

adapted from lulu the baker

1.5 cup butter, melted
1.5 cup brown sugar, packed
2 cup flour
2 cup rolled oats
2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 jar tj’s fleur de sel caramel
Combine melted butter, brown sugar, flour, oats, and baking soda. Pat half of the oatmeal mixture into the bottom of an 13×9 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over crust. Pour caramel over chocolate chips. Crumble remaining oatmeal mixture over caramel. Return to oven and bake an additional 25-30 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting.
