| Camelitas (Cookie Bars) Ingredients | |
| 2 cups | flour |
| 1 3/4 cups | quick-cooking oats |
| 1 1/4 cups | brown sugar |
| 1 teaspoon | baking soda |
| 1/4 teaspoon | salt |
| 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) | unsalted butter, softened |
| 1 cup | chocolate chips |
| 3/4 cup | chopped pecans |
| 1 1/2 cups | Salted Caramel Sauce, recipe follows |
| 2 1/2 tablespoons | flour |
| SALTED CARAMEL SAUCE: | |
| 1 cup | sugar |
| 1/4 cup | water |
| 3/4 cup | heavy cream |
| 3 1/2 tablespoons | unsalted butter |
| 1 teaspoon | gray sea salt, crushed or kosher salt |
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch pan.
Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and softened butter
in the bowl of a mixer. Mix on low until crumbly. Divide the mixture into 2
equal portions.
Press half the crumb mixture in the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
Remove and cool slightly.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips, and chopped pecans over the cooled crust. Mix
the salted caramel sauce, and flour together, and drizzle over the chocolate
chips, and nuts. Top with the remaining crumb mixture.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the
crust starts to brown. Allow the pan to cool, and refrigerate it until the
caramel filling is set.
Cut into bars and serve.
Salted Caramel Sauce:
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium-low
heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and bring to a boil,
without stirring. If necessary, use a wet pastry brush to wash down any
crystals on the side of the pan. Boil until the syrup is a deep amber color,
about 5 to 6 minutes.
Remove the sugar from the heat and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The
mixture will bubble. Stir in the unsalted butter, and salt. Transfer the
caramel to a dish and cool.
*Cook's Note: This recipe will last in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
Reheat before serving.
Salted Caramel Variations:
Salted Caramel Dip with Harvest Apples: Package the sauce with seasonal
apples for making caramel apples or simply dip the apple slices into the
caramel sauce
