Oatmeal Caramel Squares

This is a recipe I've not made in a long time. It is yummy, just make sure you have condensed milk!

1 cup rolled oats
2 cups flour
1-1/2 cups melted butter
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon soda

Mix together and spread 1/2 in bottom of 9x13 pan. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot crust.

Caramel:
3/4 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup white sugar
13 oz can sweetened condensed milk

Combine butter and sugar in saucepan. Heat about 5-6 minutes, stir occassionally, until butter has melted and sugar dissolves. Add milk and heat gently until mixture reaches simmering point. Simmer for 5 minutes. Don't let mixture burn.

Carefully spread caramel mixture over chocolate chips. Sprinkle second 1/2 of crust over top, evenly. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes.
