Ingredients

Servings

• 1 ounce Butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup Chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup Peanut butter
• 20 Caramel candies
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g. peanuts)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
4. Stir in the rolled oats and chocolate chips. Press half of the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, caramel candies, and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
6. Pour the peanut butter caramel mixture over the oat mixture in the baking pan. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.
7. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top.
8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool in the pan for 1 hour before cutting into bars.
9. Serve and enjoy!
