Caramelitas!

As I've been trying new recipes from Pinterest, I've really been wanting to improve at baking.  This recipe looked so good, I just had to try it!  These cookie bars turned out delicious!

Caramelitas

32 caramel squares
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
Combine unwrapped caramels and cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until completely smooth, about 10 minutes; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, flour, oats, and baking soda. Pat half of the oatmeal mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 8x8" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over crust. Pour caramel mixture over chocolate chips. Crumble remaining oatmeal mixture over caramel. Return to oven and bake an additional 20 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting.  They are best if allowed to cool overnight.  Store at room temperature.
