Smurtles!!!

I ran across this recipe today and had to share (also put it somewhere I can find it myself;) A great fall dessert.  Yum!!


"Smurtles"
Crust and crumb topping:
1 1/2 c. quick oats
1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 c. butter, melted
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt

Filling:
1 3/4 c. milk chocolate chips
1 (9.5oz) package caramels
1/2 c. heavy whipping cream

Preheat oven to 350 and grease 9x13 baking pan. Mix together all ingredients for crust until moist. Press half the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8 minutes. In medium saucepan, combine caramels and heavy whipping cream over medium heat. Cook until caramels are melted and the mixture is smooth. Once the crust has baked, remove from oven and top with choc. chips. Pour the caramel sauce over the chips and spread it to cover the entire top. Finally sprinkle with the remaining crust/topping mixture. Bake for 16-18 min. until crust is golden brown and filling bubbles. Change into sweatpants and enjoy!
