These caramel pecan bars are delicious! They can be served by themselves, with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. I even like them in the morning with a cup of tea.
Caramel Pecan Bars
2 1/2 sticks butter, melted
2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups oats
1 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 ounce jar of caramel sauce
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup pecans coarsely chopped
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Melt the butter. Slowly mix the butter into the oats mixture until it's crumbly. Transfer half of the mixture into the sprayed baking pan. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. Pull from the oven and let cool a few minutes.
Pour the caramel sauce into a bowl. Mix the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour into the caramel sauce until smooth. Layer the pecans, chocolate chips and the caramel last in the baking pan over the baked oats base.
Add the remaining unbaked oat crumble mixture on the top and bake 12 minutes. Remove when slightly browning on top.
Let cool. Cut and serve.
