Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, oatmeal, sugar, soda, salt and melted butter. Put about 2/3 of the mixture into an 8×8 baking dish, pressing evenly into the bottom. Bake for 10 minutes.

In the meantime, melt the caramels in the microwave. Add the evaporated milk and vanilla and stir well to combine until smooth. Remove the crust from the oven. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts. Pour the caramel evenly over the top. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
