Carmelitas Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Pour the cream over the caramels in a microwave safe bowl, then heat the mixture on High power in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until melted and smooth. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda and ¼ teaspoon of table salt.

Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat the butter in the microwave until melted.

Stir vanilla extract into melted butter, then pour mixture over the dry ingredients. Using a fork, stir well to evenly coat.

Press half of the oat mixture evenly into the bottom of a buttered 8×8-inch baking dish.

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes. 

Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips into an even layer over baked cookie crust, then pour caramel mixture evenly over chocolate chip layer.

Sprinkle some flaky sea salt evenly over caramel layer, then sprinkle top evenly with remaining oat mixture. 

Bake in the oven for 16 to 20 minutes until lightly golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Serve and enjoy!
