Erlyce Larson - Kennedy, Minnesota
Bake-Off® Contest 18, 1967
These rich, chewy bars have become a favorite of Pillsbury and are one of the most requested recipes ever. They will stay soft and delicious when stored tightly covered in the baking pan.


   CRUST
   2 cups all-purpose flour
   2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
   1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
   1 teaspoon baking soda
   1/2 teaspoon salt
   1 1/4 cups margarine or butter, softened
   
   FILLING
   1 jar (12.5 oz or 1 cup) caramel ice cream topping
   3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
   1 (6-ounce) package (1 cup) semisweet chocolate chips
   1/2 cup chopped nuts


Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13 x 9-inch pan. In large bowl, blend all crust ingredients at low speed until crumbly. Press half of crumb mixture, about 3 cups, in bottom of greased pan. Reserve remaining crumb mixture for topping.

Bake at 350°F. for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine caramel topping and 3 tablespoons flour. Remove partially baked crust from oven; sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts. Drizzle evenly with caramel mixture; sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.

Bake at 350°F. for an additional 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours until filling is set. Cut into bars.
