Easy Caramel Oat Brickle Bars

I found this recipe a while back and was going to make them this week. I thought I'd share the recipe here. The mixture melts together forming brickle-type "cookie" like bars--a little granola-like. It is important to watch these carefully as ovens differ--you don't want to over cook. Wait until edged are brown and crispy 8)
