Salted Caramel Bars with Oatmeal
These Salted Caramel Bars with Oatmeal are a cozy classic straight from my mom’s recipe box with just a few little updates to make them even better (and easier). They have that perfect mix of chewy oats, buttery caramel and just enough flake salt on top to balance it all out.
