One bite of these bars and you'll be in crunchy, buttery ,chocolate. caramel and pecan heaven! These bars are rich and delicious. Good grief the flavors in these bars were made for each other. The oatmeal is buttery, slightly crispy and just melts in your mouth. The pecan pieces add a slight crunch. The semi sweet , milk chocolate chips and caramel melt into each other and give you this great taste that you have to savory while it's in your mouth. Put all those things together and you've got one outstanding bar. This is made in a 13x9 inch pan but I promise you they won't last long! The only change I made was out of necessity, I was out of brown sugar so I used light brown sugar. I was a little anxious to take pictures of the Carmelitas , so they were still a little warm when I cut them. Putting them in the fridge firms them up nicely. I wouldn't change a thing about theses bars, they're just to perfect! Enjoy!
