Yesterday marked my 3rd cookie fail of this 30 days series. We’re talking about blondie bars that sunk faster than my flip phone in the deep end of my local swimming pool (true story). I’m pretty sure I didn’t add enough baking soda, but nonetheless, they were 0% blog worthy. Luckily, not all baking fails end in defeat. Because these revel bars that I made right after made me forget all about my prior mishap.
I still have a little bit of Halloween candy left over, and as an attempt to use it up, I threw in some Rolo caramels in the center of these bars for good measure. The dough is a soft chocolate chip oatmeal, that is perfect for holding together these sinful layers of chocolate caramel together.
They almost look under-baked with all the center gooeyness, but don’t let all that chocolate caramel fool you. Dipped in milk and oh my goodness, you might as well forget that calories exist.
I’m a little bit tempted to pull these out of the freezer right now. Okay, a lot tempted.

Some recipes are so hard to write about because all I want to do is gush over the deliciousness. So I’ll do you a favor and stop right now. Partly because I could talk about them forever, but mainly because they’re calling my name from the freezer.

Oh the delicious goodness!

And that is why I don’t bake very often, it more if a science to it and I’m not a fan of science. Hehe. These bars loom amazing, definitely 100% blog worthy, pinning and can’t wait to try!
Melissa says
Ha, I know what you mean! Science was never my favorite either. Developing recipes used to scare me, but after figuring out the ratios for certain things, it became less daunting. I just have to accept the fact that some recipes just won’t work & move on :)
Krista @ Joyful Healthy Eats says
haha… good call! :) Guess I need to figure out those ratios so I can feel more confident! :)
