âThese bars are lower in calories and are just scrumptious,â says Agnes Ward. âThe Grape-Nuts and oatmeal gives them a nice nutty crunch.â With caramel and chocolate on top, you'd never guess these are light. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
5 tablespoons packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats |
1/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup grape-nuts |
1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping |
1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Line a 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan with heavy-duty foil. Coat foil with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, cream butter and brown sugar. Add the oats, flour and cereal; mix well. Pat into prepared pan.
3. Drizzle caramel topping to within 1/2 in. of edges. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake 1 minute longer. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: 8 servings.
