Serves: 9-12
Ingredients
  • 125 grams (1 and ¼ cup) rolled oats
  • 200 grams (1 cup) brown sugar
  • 210 grams (1 and ½ cup) plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 230 grams (1 cup / 2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 240 grams (1 cup) salted caramel sauce, homemade
  • 150 grams (1/2 cup) Nutella
Directions
  1. Prepare a 9 inch square baking tin by greasing with butter and lining with baking or parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 180 C (360 F).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, place the rolled oats, sugar, flour and baking soda. Stir gently to mix. Melt your butter in the microwave until just melted and then pour over your oat mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are nice and moist and a soft dough forms. Press half of the dough into your prepared tin into an even layer.
  3. Pop into the oven for 14-15 minutes or until nice and golden on top. Leave to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
  4. Place dollops of your Nutella on top the browned oat layer. Smear slightly to cover most of the base. Pour over half of your caramel on top, reserving half for decorating. Gently tap the tin so the caramel completely covers the top. Grab the rest of your oat dough and place dollops all over the top. Most of the top should be covered but its ok to have some of the caramel poking through here and there. Bake for another 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Leave it in the tin to cool completely before popping into the fridge to set completely for at least 4-6 hours or even better, overnight.
  5. Run a small butter knife around the edges and lift your Caramelita bars out of the tin. Cut into small squares using a sharp knife. Drizzle over the left over caramel on top. Store the bars in the fridge.
