Salted Caramel Oatmeal Bars

A bit of messy yumminess in your fingers here, people! These Salted Caramel Oatmeal Bars are HEAVENLY! Great to have in the house for nibbles and also a great party food.

Favorite things from this week:

– These bars, of course. Look at them! Believe it or not, they are even more delicious than they look.

– Boy snuggles (super missing my boys now that they are both in school).

– Fresh crisp Fall air!

– Time spent with a cherished childhood friend.

– Naps.

If you are looking for an irresistible new dessert recipe, you need not look any further. These are TO DIE FOR.

A warning, though. Your fingers will be sticky after eating them. If sticky fingers bother you, grab a fork!

I ended up giving the majority of this batch away because they were deemed TOO DANGEROUS TO SIT ON MY COUNTERTOP. Ahem, I have a few other of these types of desserts for you to peruse. Like these Strawberry Brownies or these Funfetti Bars or this Ooey Gooey Butter Cake!

Enjoy! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend wherever you may be!
