Carmelitas


1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine above ingredients; stir in 3/4 cup melted butter. Set aside 1 cup. Press remaining into 9x13x2 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

14 ounce package caramels (unwrapped)
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped peanuts (I use cashews because I like them better!!!)

Combine caramels and cream in saucepan. Melt over low heat stirring often (or microwave). Sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts over crust; top with caramel mixture. Sprinkle with reserved oat mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Coll completely before serving.

Ashley--
I made them and they were a hit. I took them to work and they were gone by about 1100. When I was making them, i thought that coconut might be good on it so I put it on half and it tasted really good. Thanks for the recipe. Can't wait to try another:)
