PRINTABLE RECIPE (with weight measurements):
If you've never had a Caramelita before, you're missing out! These decadent cookie bars are made with a slightly crisp oat cookie bar layer and are filled with melty, gooey caramel and chocolate!
Ingredients
3/4 cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled (170g)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (157g)
1 cup old fashioned oats (100g)
3/4 cup tightly packed light brown sugar (150g)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Filling
35 caramels unwrapped
1/2 cup heavy cream (115ml)
1 1/3 cups milk chocolate chips (225g)
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a 9x9 metal baking pan* with parchment paper -- use enough so that parchment paper hangs over the edges, this will make it easy to lift the bars out of the pan and cut them later on.
00:22 Melt your butter. Set aside to cool.
00:43 Prepare your dry ingredients by stirring together flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt until well-combined.
01:11 Add vanilla to your slightly cooled butter and stir until combined. Pour in to dry ingredients and stir together until combined.
01:29 Press half of your oat/butter mixture evenly and firmly into the bottom of your prepared 9x9 pan and transfer to your 350F (175C) oven to bake for 8-10 minutes (until just lightly golden).
02:39 Meanwhile, prepare your caramel filling by combining unwrapped caramels and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until caramel is completely melted and mixture is smooth, then remove from heat.
03:03 Once your first layer of the Carmelita is finished baking, remove from the oven and sprinkle evenly with milk chocolate chips.
Pour caramel evenly over chocolate chips, and then scatter remaining oat mixture over the top of the caramel, you don't have to completely cover the caramel, gaps are OK. I like to gently press the oat mixture into the caramel but be careful not to touch the caramel as it's hot!
03:51 Return to 350F (175C) oven and bake for another 18-21 minutes or until top is golden brown.
Allow to cool completely, at least 1-2 hours, before removing from the pan and cutting and serving (if you dig in too soon you'll have a major mess on your hands, you need to allow some time for the caramel to re-set).

How To Bake Ludy Bars/Neiman Marcus Cookie Squares Recipe
Ludy Bars, are cookies that my mom started baking when she first found the recipe in the Los Angeles Times around the 1980's. This recipe first showed up in the LA times on December 4, 1986, the cut out of the recipe from the newspaper should be around the house somewhere. The author named the cookies vacuum cleaner bars because they would be sucked up like a vacuum cleaner. The bars were originally named Neiman Marcus Bars, I have since re-named them after my mom Ludy. Ludy Bars because she made these so often for her friends and parties that she became known as the Neiman Marcus Bar lady. The ingredients and the recipe is fairly easy and in this how-to-video I will show you how to make these delicious and very addictive cookies.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup margarine (not butter), melted
1 (18.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
3 eggs
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (1-pound) box powdered sugar
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Combine margarine, cake mix and 1 egg. Stir together until dry ingredients are moistened. Pat mixture into bottom of well-greased 16x11x1-inch jellyroll pan.
Beat remaining 2 eggs lightly, then beat in cream cheese and powdered sugar. Stir in coconut and nuts. Pour over mixture in jellyroll pan, spreading evenly. Bake at 325 degrees 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Cool pan on wire rack to room temperature. Makes 4 dozen bars.
Enjoy!!!
