Carmelitos

Wow, these Carmelito bar cookies are fabulous! Dave and I whipped these up together this past weekend and enjoyed every bite! They are rich, chocolatey and just melt in your mouth. Mmm.

Carmelitos

1 cup flour
1 cup quick oats
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup carmel topping
1/2 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
3 Tablespoons flour

Mix flour, oats, sugar, soda, salt and butter. Press half of the mixture into a 11x7 pan and set the other half aside. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and chopped pecans (if using). Blend 3/4 cup carmel with 3 T. flour. Pour (drizzle) over chocolate chips. Sprinkle the balance of the flour oat mixture over the dessert. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until light brown. Allow to cool and set before slicing.
