Ingredients

  • 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ Cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 1 ½ Cups Light Brown Sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 Cup (2 Sticks) Salted Butter, melted
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 12oz Jar Caramel Sauce, for ice cream
  • 2 Cups Semi- Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 ½ Cups Pecan Halves, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp Flaky Sea Salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with baking spray with flour, line it with parchment paper leaving at least a 1-inch overhang, and spray again.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, and baking soda. Add the butter and vanilla, and fold to combine.
  3. Press half of the mixture in an even layer in the prepared pan. Bake until just set, about 10 minutes.
  4. Heat the caramel sauce in the microwave until pourable, according to the package directions.
  5. Sprinkle the crust with the chocolate chips and pecans. Pour the caramel in as even a layer as possible over the chocolate and nuts. Crumble the remaining oat mixture evenly over top.
  6. Bake until lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
  7. Allow the bars to cool completely, at least 1 hour. Slice into 24 pieces and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
