Side Pannel
Salted Carmelitas
Ingredients List
- 32 caramels, unwrapped (such as Kraft)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp table salt
- 10 Tbsp salted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips*
- coarse sea salt
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour cream over caramels in a microwave safe bowl, heat mixture on HIGH power in 30 second intervals, stirring well after each interval until melted and smooth (alternately you can combine the two ingredients in a saucepan and melt over low heat), set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, rolled oats, light-brown sugar, baking soda and 1/4 tsp table salt. Place butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat butter in microwave until melted. Stir vanilla extract into melted butter then pour mixture over dry ingredients. Using a fork, stir well to evenly coat. Press half of the oat mixture evenly into the bottom of a buttered 8 by 8-inch baking dish and bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips into an even layer over baked cookie crust, then pour caramel mixture evenly over chocolate chip layer. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp coarse sea salt evenly over caramel layer, then sprinkle top evenly with remaining oat mixture. Bake in preheated oven 16 - 20 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven, sprinkle top evenly with an 1/8 tsp coarse sea salt (or to taste) and allow to cool for 20 minutes at room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap leaving a small opening on one corner (to allow condensation to escape), transfer to refrigerator to chill until cool enough to cut into clean squares (mine took about 2 hours chilling). Alternately you can enjoy them warm after about 20 minutes of cooling at room temperature (you just won't have clean cut squares and the caramel will be really runny). Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
3. *you can use all semi-sweet chocolate chips if you'd like, I just like the combo of both kinds of chocolate.
