Oatmeal Chocolate Caramel Bars...

These Oatmeal Chocolate Caramel Bars are such a delicious sweet treat and one of my favorite quick easy desserts to throw together when we're getting together with friends. They are incredibly addicting though and lets just say I've learned the hard way to only make them when we can share them with others because otherwise it is entirely likely your family will eat the whole 9x13 pan on your own within a week!

One tip, for the caramels some stores now sell these caramel bits  which make melting the caramels and heavy cream together a bit easier. They come in an 11oz bag and I typically just use one of these as a substitute for the 14oz bag of caramels, which means no unwrapping each little caramel and they melt a lot quicker!

Trust me...you will love these!!! And my picture below does not at all do the deliciousness of these bars justice. Mel's pictures give a much better representation of how good they are!
