Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup white sugar
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ cup butter
• 1 cup butterscotch chips
• 1 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
• ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts
• ½ (5 ounce) can evaporated milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine flour, oats, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Step 3

Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Beat in the oat mixture until crumbly; do not overmix. Reserve 1 cup of the crust mixture and press the rest into the bottom of a 9x13-inch rimmed baking pan.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until firm and browned, about 10 minutes. Leave oven on; remove crust and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Combine caramels and evaporated milk in a saucepan over low heat. Cook and stir until caramels melt and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Spread over the prebaked cookie crust; sprinkle reserved crust mixture, nuts, and butterscotch chips on top.

Step 6

Bake in the hot oven until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
