Chocolate Fleck Oatmeal Carmelitas

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Carmelitas are a simple, rich bar cookie amongst tons of pecans, chocolate chips, as well as dollops of dulce de leche piled on a soft oatmeal crust as well as hence baked for a delicious treat!

No incertitude virtually it … these bars are a mouth-full of nuts, caramel as well as chocolate as well as ever a favorite on the dessert table.  The oatmeal base of operations is soft, without beingness crumbly or dry, hence you lot tin shipping away sink your teeth into the rich caramel.  The dulce de leche remains soft exactly non viscid subsequently beingness baked hence the Oatmeal Carmelitas are non overly gooey.

 

 

Oatmeal Carmelitas bring been some for a long fourth dimension exactly didn’t ever include chocolate chips inwards the layers.

I haven’t tried making them without chocolate exactly imagine they’d all the same live on crazy delicious.  These remind me a picayune of  Peanut Butter Oatmeal Revel Bars which are a personal favorite of mine.

 

Be for sure to cutting them smaller than you lot would intend equally they are real rich.

The uncomplicated oat base of operations keeps them from beingness over the transcend sweetness hence no worries.  I used dulce de leche for the caramel layer because it’s super slow as well as ready to larn when you lot opened upwards the can, as well as it tends to live on a picayune less sweetness than caramels or caramel sauce.  If you lot desire to brand your ain Homemade Dulce de Leche Caramel, cheque out this post service past times Melissa’s Southern Style Kitchen – hence slow as well as delicious!

 

 

Bittersweet chocolate chips would also live on a keen alternative exactly I intend milk chocolate chips would live on likewise sweet.  One affair I know for certain, these volition disappear inwards a flash at your adjacent tailgate political party or event.
