Caramel Bars image

The best caramel bars ever!! I got this recipe from my husband's Grandma Emma years ago and I had forgotten I even had it. Myself and other family members have been trying to come up with a recipe that would come close to Grandma's and as much as we tried, could never quite match up to her recipe. As I was looking through my recipe card box recently I discovered the recipe, hand written by Grandma Emma. My daughters and I had to make them when they were home visiting this summer and they are the best!!

Time 55m

Yield 1 pan, 12-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 cup margarine or 1 cup butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups quick oatmeal
12 ounces caramels
3/4 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Pre heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix the 1st 6 ingredients together in mixer until crumbly -- Grandma says mix like pie crust.
  • Pat all but approximately 1 1/2 cups of batter into a 9 X 13 cake pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • While this is baking, melt the caramels with the 3/4 cup whipping cream. A double boiler is recommended, but you could use the microwave if you stop and stir often to make sure the caramels do not burn.
  • Spread caramel mix over the 1st layer when it has baked.
  • Use the remaining 1 1/2 cups of batter and pat down in small sections over the caramel mix.
  • Return to oven and bake for about 15 minutes or longer -- til they are done.
  • Remove from oven and cool.
  • Enjoy!
  • *Pointer-Can use Caramel bites that are now available in the baking aisle at the grocery store rather than having to unwrap all the caramels. Also, Grandma says that 1/2 and 1/2 could be used rather than cream if you would like.
