Carmalites

From Wendy's Friend Tiffin

2 cups butter
 2 1/4 cups brown sugar
 3 cups flour
 3 cups quick oatmeal
 1 tsp salt
 2 tsp soda
 1 bottle Mrs. Richardson's butterscotch caramel (I used the big
 Hershey caramel bottle in the ice cream toppings section)
 1 bag milk chocolate chips

 Directions: soften butter. add brown sugar to butter and mix. add
 flour, oats, salt, and soda. mix. press 3/4 of mixture into the bottom
 of a large cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Take out of oven
 and let cool slightly. Pour on caramel and spread evenly. Sprinkle on
 chocolate chips and the remaining cookie mixture. Bake at 350 for
 10-12 minutes (or till chocolate chips melt/cookie is golden
 brownish). Let cool! (These end up being better the next day for some
 reason, but also taste great served warm with ice cream)
