Oatmeal Carmelitas

Carmelitas recipes don’t get any better than these oatmeal carmelitas
Forgive me.

I went a little picture crazy on the Oatmeal Carmelitas. It’s just that they are so pretty! And gooey! And so full of caramel and chocolate and oaty goodness.

Oaty goodness? That sounds kinda icky, doesn’t it?

Let’s just forget I said that.

Carmelitas recipes are among my favorite dessert bars

The thing is, bar desserts have always and will always be my favorites. They are generally easy to make, simple to transport and share, and obviously, they tend to taste just plain delicious.  I mean who doesn’t love fluffernutter bars and snickerdoodle bars?

These are one of my all time favorite bar desserts, which is sort of saying a lot.

I even busted out my macro lens (which hasn’t been out to play in, um, more months than I’d like to admit) to take pictures of the prettiness. I wanted to capture the gooey caramel and the melty chocolate.

I wanted to let the pictures do the talking. Then I started typing and messed all of that up.

Oops.
