Crisco Caramel Oatmeal Bars image

Family Favorite. We use semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate and we prefer pecans instead of walnuts. There are several variations to this recipe you just have to be creative.

I've never made oatmeal bars before, but these were so easy to make and they turned out great. I'll definitely be making them again.

These bars are the perfect combination of sweet and chewy. I love the way the caramel topping melts in my mouth.

I'm not a huge fan of oatmeal, but these bars were surprisingly good. The caramel topping really makes them.

These bars are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and they still taste great.

I had some trouble getting the caramel topping to set properly. I think I may have cooked it for too long. Other than that, these bars were great!

These bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I've made these bars several times now and they always turn out great. They're easy to make and the ingredients are simple. I like to add a little extra salt to the caramel topping to balance out the sweetness.

These oatmeal bars were a hit with my family! They're gooey, chewy, and have the perfect amount of sweetness. I especially love the caramel topping. It's so rich and flavorful.
