Easy Carmelita Bars
Crumbly & Gooey Cookie Bars Are Ready In About 45 Minutes!
My friend Daisy recently came to stay with me for the weekend and I wanted to make a treat for us to snack on. In between laundry and vacuuming I quickly whipped up a batch of carmelitas! This dessert from Cooks.com is quick and easy using oatmeal for the crust and topping, and caramel syrup, nuts and chocolate for the gooey centre. This killer combination was to die for! It was such a hit and it didn’t take long for us to wolf them down. Everyone’s going to love these! Enjoy!
