Carmelitas

5 / 5 (1 reviews)

Soft oatmeal crumb bars stuffed with gooey caramel, chocolate chips, and chopped pecans. These Carmelitas use the same mixture for the crust and topping and are so easy to make!

Chef's Notes

NotesCaramel candies: I suggest using the caramel candies if you’re able to find them. However, if you can't find any or simply don't want to use them, you can substitute my homemade caramel sauce instead. It won’t be quite as thick as the caramel candies, but it should do the trick. 
Heavy whipping cream: If you don’t have heavy whipping cream on hand, you may be able to use whole or 2% milk in its place. I imagine you’d need to use just 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk since it’s much thinner than cream.

These were delicious! I didn't add the nuts and worried a little because I was using a glass pan. But they turned out beautifully! Wondering if I could double this recipe and use a 9x13 pan? Thank you!

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
