Bargasms

[cookie_spot]

This is a recipe my mom uses, and she calls them, Linda's Bar Cookies. My husband coined the name Bargasms, and I think it's more appropriate.

Here's the basic recipe:

2 cups oats
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup melted butter

1 14 oz. bag of caramels
1/4 cup of water

1 cup chopped nuts
1 6oz bag of chocolate chips

Those look fantastic! Are the nuts essential to the recipe, or could I skip them?

You could probably leave the nuts out in the case of allergies or such, I don't know that you'd be missing that much without them.

hi there! this recipe looks amazing. i just tried to make them, but failed because i mixed the oats too well (they were more akin to dust and didn't look like oats in the end!)....i think this is because i used a hand mixer (which makes the mixture more fine) and should have just used a big fork or my hands. anyway, they still tasted good but were kind of uneatable because i can't get them out of the pan in one piece (they just crumble and fall apart!)....thank you, very much, for posting this recipe though...i will try to make them again!

Mmmmmm

Heya--I saw your recipe on livejournal and tried it. I added coconut and used almonds instead of pecans. Extremely yummo, thanks for sharing!
