Sorry it's been quite a while since my last post, little Miss E is getting bigger and bigger which means less nursing time (aka my blogging time). It's amazing how fast a family grows and changes and as things get busier I'm looking for easier and easier recipes that are fast and make big batches. These are an addictive snack that have everyone in our family sneaking a bite out of the freezer :)
Caramel Oatmeal Bars
3/4 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
2 1/2 c. quick-cooking rolled oats
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 c. caramel baking bits (Skor)
1 c. potato chips, crushed
3/4 c. mini marshmallow bits (I use regular mini marshmallows)
Cream the butter and sugar until light and creamy, add the vanilla and eggs and cream again. Slowly add the flour, cinnamon and salt. Then slowly add the oatmeal, a bit at a time. The dough will be very stiff. Add in the caramel, marshmallow and chips (sometimes your hands are your best tools :) ) Spread into a greased 9 x 13 and bake at 350 for 20-22 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
