  1 lb caramels, unwrapped 1/2 C evaporated milk Melt caramels in evaporated milk, then set aside. Do not melt on stove if you can help it - microwaving seems to keep the mixture from burning. 2 C flour 2 C oatmeal 1/2 C brown sugar 1 t baking soda 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 C butter or margarine Preheat the oven to 350F. Mix together flour, oats, sugar, soda, and butter. Divide mixture in half, then press half into a 9 by 13 pan, greased at your discretion. Bake 10 minutes. Sprinkle baked bars with 6 oz package of chocolate chips. Spread on caramel mixture, then add the remaining half of the batter.
Bake 25 minutes. *** Sarah and I embarked on the Christmas cookie madness - we have a long list, but only got a few things done. More baking tomorrow - and consequently more recipes. Why the heck do I need another blog? I used to have a foodie site which I loved but never updated - and consequently no one read it. I thought maybe the convenience of urlLink blogger would make popping favorite recipes online a little easier. So watch this space for more recipe goodness as the tasty meals are prepared. :)
