Chocolate Caramel Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars Recipes

NO BAKE CHOCOLATE OAT BARS

Steps:

• Grease a 9x9 inch square pan.
• Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and vanilla. Mix in the oats. Cook over low heat 2 to 3 minutes, or until ingredients are well blended. Press half of mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Reserve the other half for topping.
• Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust in the pan, and spread evenly with a knife or the back of a spoon.
• Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate layer, pressing in gently. Cover, and refrigerate 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Bring to room temperature before cutting into bars.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Coat a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray (or line with sprayed foil to help get them out of the pan after baking & make clean-up easier).
• Combine cake mix and oatmeal. Cut in peanut butter until mixture looks like fine crumbs.
• Whisk the egg with the milk and add to crumb mixture, stirring until well mixed. Reserving 3/4 cup of mixture, press remainder into bottom of pan.
• Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add caramel and beat until well mixed. (Take the lid off the caramel jar then microwave for a few seconds to make more pourable.)
• Spread caramel cream cheese mixture over crust.
• Sprinkle with chocolate chips and reserved crumbs.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool completely; cut into bars.
• These are really rich so cut into small bars!
