Caramel Chocolitas

One of my favorite new recipes that I discovered and tried!!!
2 c all purpose flour
1 3/4 c quick cooking rolled oats
1 1/2 c packed brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 c butter, melted
12-14oz of vanilla caramels, unwrapped
1/3 c milk
2 c semi sweet chocolate morsels
1 c milk chocolate morsels
1/2 c mixed nuts

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Line a 13x9 pan with foil, extending the foil over the edges of the pan.  Grease foil and set aside.  In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.  Add melted butter and mix until crumbly.  Reserve 1 1/2 c for topping.  Press remaining crumb mixture into bottom of prepared pan.  In a small microwave bowl, combine caramels and milk.  Microwave on 50% power for 4 to 6 minutes or until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth.  Stop and stir every 45 seconds to 1 minute to avoid burning.  Sprinkle chocolate morsels and nuts over crust in pan.  Drizzle evenly with melted caramel mixture and sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown.  Cool pan on a wire rack.  Use the foil to lift uncut bars out of pan and cut into bars.  Store in a single layer and cover.
