Ingredients

• ▢ 1 cup quick or old-fashioned oats
• ▢ 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ▢ ¾ cup packed brown sugar
• ▢ 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon salt
• ▢ 6 tablespoon butter, melted
• ▢ 1 package (14 ounces) caramel candies, unwrapped
• ▢ 2 tablespoons milk
• ▢ ½ cup milk chocolate morsels

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 350F degrees. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl (affiliate link), combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Add the butter and mix until crumbly.
• Press the oat mixture evenly into the lined pan. (Be sure to press firmly.)
• Bake for about 20 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from the oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool.
• Place the caramels and milk in a microwave safe bowl (affiliate link). Microwave (affiliate link), uncovered on High for 1 - 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
• Pour the melted caramel over the hot crust and spread evenly to cover. Let stand 10 minutes or until the caramel is set.
• Lift the bars from the pan with the parchment paper. Place on a cutting board (affiliate link). Cut lengthwise into 8 rows.
• Place the chocolate morsels in a small microwave safe bowl (affiliate link) and microwave (affiliate link) on high for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth. Spoon the melted chocolate into a resealable plastic bag. Twist the top of the bag and make a small cut in one corner.
• Squeeze out the chocolate in a continuous loop of chocolate along each row. Let stand until the chocolate is set.
• Cut the rows lengthwise into eights and crosswise into sixths, making 48 bite-size bars.

Recipe Notes

I think these mini-bars could easily be made gluten-free. The next time I make them, I'm planning to substitute oat flour (affiliate link) or a gluten-free flour blend for the all-purpose flour.

This makes a large pan of mini cookie bars, so you could always individually wrap them and place them in the freezer if it's too tempting to have them laying around.
