2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
2 cups all-purpose flour,
1 1/2 firmly packed brown sugar,
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Melt two sticks (1 cup) of butter.
Then, pour the butter into the oatmeal mixture. Mix it all together. Remember that greased pan? Press half of the oatmeal mixture into the bottom of the pan. Stick the pan into the 350 degree oven for ten minutes. you can chop your lightly toasted nuts. Take the pan from the oven. Sprinkle ten ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips onto the oatmeal crust. They come in twelve ounce bags. That leaves two ounces for discretionary eating. Now for the pecans. You need one cup of lightly toasted, crudely chopped nuts. You can use walnuts. Now drizzle one cup of caramel sauce over it all. Don’t forget, that’s only half of a sixteen ounce jar. Putting the whole jar on is NOT, I repeat NOT recommended. Take the remaining half of the oatmeal mixture and spread it on top. Pat it firmly to form a crust. Back to oven – 25minutes – LET COOL before cutting
