Clipped from a newspaper, a recipe from Carol Burger, these are easy and delicious-Bar None! It calls for 1 cup of nuts but I left them out and was still excellent!
Ingredients:
32 -36 wrapped caramels
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 cup flour
1 cup quick oats
1 cup nuts
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup melted butter
1 1/2 cups m&m's plain chocolate candy
Directions:
1. Combine caramels and milk in heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally until blended.
2. Combine flour, oats, nuts, brown sugar, soda and salt in a bowl, add melted butter, mixing until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 cup of mixture and press remaining mixture into bottom of greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
3. Sprinkle 1 cup M&Ms on top of partially baked crust. Pour caramel mixture over M&Ms. Sprinkle reserved crumb mix and remaining 1/2 cup M&Ms on top. Continue baking for 20 to 25 minutes.
4. Cool slightly, then chill for 30 minutes. Cut into bars.
