If you’re looking for a dessert that checks all the boxes—rich, gooey, chocolatey, and utterly indulgent—look no further than Caramelitas. These decadent dessert bars combine layers of buttery oat crumble with melted chocolate and gooey caramel for a treat that’s impossible to resist.
Born from the idea of upgrading a simple oatmeal bar, Caramelitas have earned their place as a beloved bake-sale favorite and a must-make for anyone with a sweet tooth. They’re the perfect mix of chewy, crunchy, and melty goodness all in one bite.
What Makes Caramelitas Special?
Caramelitas stand out because of their layered structure. The bottom layer is an oatmeal-brown sugar crust that bakes up golden and slightly chewy. On top goes a blanket of chocolate chips, a drizzle of silky caramel sauce, and finally, another sprinkle of oat mixture. The result? A bar that holds together just enough to be handheld while still delivering melt-in-your-mouth gooeyness.
