Oatmeal Caramelite

This is the most amazing dessert brownie type thing. The recipe comes from my co-math teacher and every bite puts a smile on my face.

Combine
1 cup flour
1 cup oatmeal
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup melted butter
Press half of mixture into a 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Melt a bag of Kraft caramels and 5 tablespoons of milk in the microwave...stir regularly. Spread over the mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup nuts over this and top with remaining crumbs. Bake 15-20 minutes longer.
