Chocolate and Caramel Oat Bars

January 15, 2016 by mandyrecipebox

I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t like these Chocolate and Caramel Oat Bars.  I don’t make them often, but when I do, they’re pretty irresistible!  I’m not sure if it’s the combination of the chocolate and caramel together or the over all texture of the bar.  They are slightly gooey with a chewy texture.

Amy from My Name is Snickerdoodle, here! I love to see the reaction of people who are trying it for the first time.  They’re eyes get really big and then a smile is soon to follow.  They usually ask, “What are these?” or “What is in this?’  with positive inflection. 

They would be perfect for any potluck or individually wrap them for a bake sale.  Whatever you make them for, just make sure you make them!

    These chocolate caramel bars look so utterly scrummy and they are made with oats, so they must be good for you – occasionally! Thank you for sharing a delicious recipe. Sammie
