Salted Caramel Revel Bars

Oh my goodness, friends! Run, don’t walk, to make these amazing Salted Caramel Revel Bars. Revel Bars are an oatmeal cookie bar featuring a layer of oatmeal cookie, usually with a chocolate filling, topped with another layer of oatmeal cookie. But the combination of buttery oatmeal cookie bars and a rich and delicious salted caramel filling in these revel bars is just perfect! These bars are absolutely out of this world delicious! Seriously one of the best things I have ever baked. This recipe makes a full 9×13 pan of cookie bars, so it’s ideal for serving a crowd or taking to a party.

Start by mixing the oatmeal cookie dough. It’s a thick dough, so I reccomend using a stand mixer. If using a hand mixer, you will likely have to stir in some of the flour and oatmeal by hand. Press 2/3 of the cookie dough into a 9×13 glass baking dish that has been lined with foil and sprayed generously with non stick cooking spray.

In a small saucepan, heat caramels, sweetened condensed milk and two tablespoons of butter until smooth. Then, stir in two teaspoons of vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Pour caramel filling over cookie layer and spread evenly.

Top caramel layer with remaining 1/3 of cookie dough. I just dotted the cookie dough over the top making it as even as possible. It will spread while baking. Sprinkle remaining sea salt over bars and bake.

Let cool and carefully cut bars. I couldn’t resist cutting into these bars before they were fully cooled, so my caramel was warm and gooey. For neater slicing and serving, let bars cool completely.
