Caramel Morsel Bars

"Had these at a wedding shower and they were so yummy! My friend said she clipped this recipe from a Kraft advertisement that appeared in a magazine about 30 years ago. She uses rice krisp cereal so not sure what it would be like with a toasted oat cereal."

Sprinkle chocolate and butterscotch chips on top and place in a 200F oven for about 5 minutes or until chips are softened.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love food and cooking and find that I all too often don't have as much time to spend in the kitchen as I'd like. I long for a new updated kitchen with a functional pantry that will allow me to actually spend productive time in the kitchen rather than spend it forever rooting around in cupboards to find some lost important ingredient. I love to surf the 'net to look for new recipes and food ideas and lunch hours at my day job (crop diagnostician) are often used for just that. Other than kitchen stuff my hobbies are gardening, quilting and reading.
