These rich, gooey bars are my most-requested treats. They're popular at school functions, family barbecues and picnics. We like them alone or topped off with a scoop of ice cream. Ingredients:
2-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided |
2 cups quick-cooking oats |
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1-1/2 cups cold butter, cubed |
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1 cup chopped pecans |
1 jar (12 ounces) caramel ice cream topping |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Set half aside for topping.
2. Press the remaining crumb mixture into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips and pecans.
3. Whisk caramel topping and remaining flour until smooth; drizzle over top. Sprinkle with the reserved crumb mixture. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours before cutting. Yield: about 4-1/2 dozen.
