EVIL OATMEAL BARS

I made these yummy bars a little while back. They turned out really good. If you love chocolate and caramel in a cookie crust you should try these.

EVIL OATMEAL BARS
2 cups butter, softened
4 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
5 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
4 cups oats~i used old fashioned but use whatever you have

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the rest of the ingredients and press 1/2 to 3/4 of the mixture into the bottom of a large cookie sheet.

In a seperate bowl melt together:
1 bag milk chocolate chips, 1 bag Kraft caramel bites or 1 bag of caramels chopped into small pieces, 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 1 tsp vanilla, and 2 T. butter until melted and smooth. I took out every 30 seconds and stirred it around. Pour this mixture over the crust.

Like this:

Then sprinkle the remaining crust mixture over the top of the caramel/ chocolate layer. Like so:

Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. If you don't want a large cookie sheet full then just halve the recipe and put it in a 9x13 pan.
