These have been favorites in my house for as long as I can remember! They're sweet, gooey, and so delicious. They're similar to another recipe on Zaar, but were just different enough that I decided to post them anyway. We often double this and bake it in a jelly roll pan. Prep time does not include 1-2 hours to chill after baking.

Categories Chocolate Cookies Dessert Bake

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 sticks unsalted butter, softened
3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
2 1/4 cups light brown sugar
1 jar 16-oz dulce de leche (1 1/2 cups)
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9x13-inch metal baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk 3 cups of the flour with the baking soda and salt. Add the butter, oats, and brown sugar and mix until combined.
In a small bowl, mix the dulce de leche with the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour. Pat half of the oat mixture into the baking pan.
Bake for 15 minutes. Scatter 1/2 of the chocolate chips and pecans over the crust. Dollop half of the dulce de leche mixture on top. Crumble the remaining oat mixture on top. Cover with the remaining chocolate chips, pecans, and dulce de leche.
Bake for about 35 minutes or until the edges are set. Let stand uncovered at room temperature overnight. Cut the carmelitas into bars and serve.
NOTE: Dulce de leche, the Latin caramel sauce is available at most supermarkets and specialty food shops.
MAKE AHEAD: Once cooled, the carmelitas can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.

Tips:

To ensure the perfect consistency, use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients accurately.
For a gooey center, bake until the center is just set, about 20-25 minutes. If you prefer a crispy center, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Allow the Carmelitas to cool completely before slicing. This helps prevent them from falling apart.
Store the Carmelitas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Feel free to experiment with different nut butters and chocolate chips to create your own unique flavor combinations.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Oatmeal Carmelitas are a delightful treat that combines the flavors of chocolate, oats, caramel, and coconut. With their chewy texture and gooey center, they are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Perfect for any occasion, these bars are a delicious addition to your baking repertoire.
