Ingredients

CRUST/TOPPING

  • 3/4 cup butter (12 tablespoons), softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 cups oats

FILLING

  • 14 oz. package caramels (or caramel bits, which come unwrapped)
  • 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1-2 tsp. sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla. Mix until creamy.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking soda. Mix well and gradually add to the mixing bowl until fully incorporated. Add the oats and stir until combined. Press 2/3 of the batter into prepared pan with fingers (coat fingers with flour, if needed). Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine caramels and sweetened condensed milk. Turn heat to Low and stir often until creamy. Pour caramel over crust and top with sea salt. Drop the remaining 1/3 of batter over the top in clumps.
  • Bake for an additional 25 minutes and let cool before cutting into squares.
