Oatmeal cookie bars

My sister-in-law, Amy, was nice enough to share this recipe with me. She made them when we were all together for Thanksgiving a couple of years ago and I haven't forgotten them. They are really, really good!

Oatmeal Cookie Bars

2 C rolled oats (not instant)

2 C flour

1 1/2 C brown sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 C butter--melted

1 C chocolate chips

1/2 jar Mrs. Richardson caramel

Preheat oven to 350. Combine all ingredients but chocolate chips and caramel. Press 1/2-2/3 of mixture into a 9x13 pan and bake 10-15 min. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Drizzle caramel sauce over top. Crumble remaining mixture on top. Bake another 15-20--don't overcook! Cool completely before eating.
