Caramel Candy Bars

I found this online. I took the bars to work and people really liked them. One gal asked for the recipe, which I always take as a good sign! It was a little annoying unwrapping all the caramels, but the end result is worth it.

Prep time 25 min, Total cook time 1 hour 30 min

1 14-oz bag caramels
1/3 cup milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts or dry-roasted peanuts

Heat oven to 350. Grease 13x9x2 pan.

Heat caramels and milk in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth.

Stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and egg in large bowl. Stir in butter with a fork until mixture is crumbly. Press half of the crumbly mixture in pan.

Bake 10 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts over baked layer. Drizzle with caramel mixture. Sprinkle remaining crumbly mixture. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 30 minutes. Loosen edges from sides of pan; cool completely. For 54 bars, cut into 9 rows by 6 rows.
