Oatmeal Everything Bars

Last night for my surprise birthday party, I made these super delicious oatmeal everything bars (thanks, Rachel, for the recipe!). I was asked to share it, so in honor of Stacey, I thought I would post them here!

2 cups flor

2 cups oatmeal

1 1/2 cup butter

1 1/2 cupe brown sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1 or 2 pinches of salt (i think i forgot these last night! oops! it still turned out good though.)

chocolate chips

caramels or caramel sauce

- Melt the butter and add oatmeal.

- Mix brown sugar and clour and then add to butter.

- Add chocolate chips, after the butter has cooled down though!

- Melt the caramels.

- Spray a 9x13 pan and then crumble the mixture in the pan. Cover the pan and pat down.

- Drizzle the caramel sauce or melted caramels on top.

- Make 2 layers of this.

- Bake at 180˚C or 350˚F for 20 minutes and then let them sit and harden.

Then enjoy the juicy goodness!!!! :D

It was a strange, yet funny and sweet, experience...very un-Austrian.
