    Sweet Treat Surprise: Carmelita Bars

    Last night I felt like making a sweet treat I could share. So, I whipped up some Carmelita bars, and they are ready for delivery today. I had one little one for a morning treat. A little taste for the cook, right? ;)

    (A few recipes follow.)

    Notes: I'm not a fan of having to melt caramel candies, so just get a good jar of caramel (or make it yourself) and add flour to thicken.  I also prefer pecans to walnuts.  It reminds me of pecan pie.  Also, make sure you allow them to cool in the pan completely (or overnight).  I pulled it out of the pan the first time... NOT pretty.  ;)

    Recipes:

    Oatmeal Carmelitas

    Carmelita Bars (Better Homes & Gardens) (This is the recipe I used.  I'm going to play with it a bit more in the future, namely with the crust in the recipe above!)
