Dulce De Leche Bars

Oatmeal-Caramel Bars. My husband loves these (and he is not a dessert eater!) Very yummy and better if you make ahead and serve 1 or 2 days later.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Yields: 32 bars

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups flour
• 1 1⁄2 cups oatmeal
• 1  cup  packed brown sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1  cup butter, soft
• 1 (13 1/2ounce) can  nestle  dulce de leche (if you can't find the nestle dulce de leche can I have substituted regular sweetened condensed milk)
• 1  cup  toffee pieces

Directions

1. Preheat over to 350. In a big bowl mix flour, oatmeal, brown sugar and salt. Cut in softened butter with pastry blender until crumbly. Save out 1 cup of mixture, press rest in a 13x9 pan. Do not grease the pan.
2. Bake 10 minutes. Empty dulce de leche into microwave bowl. Heat dulce de leche in microwave on medium power until it is soft enough to spread. 2-4 minutes total- I microwave for 45 seconds, stir, then zap again on med power.
3. Spread dulce de leche over baked crust. Sprinkle toffee bits and the 1 cup of oats mixture over that. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 15 minutes.
4. Run a knife around the edge of pan to loosen. Cool completely another 30 minutes. Makes 32 bars.
