1 bag (7 ounce size) caramel candies
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1 cup flour
3/4 cup quick cooking rolled oats uncooked
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup margarine
1 package (6 ounce size) semisweet chocolate pieces
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Melt caramels with milk in covered double boiler or heavy saucepan over low heat.
Combine dry ingredients; cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 cup. Press remaining crumb mixture onto bottom of greased 13x9" baking pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate pieces over baked crust. Spread caramel mixture evenly over chocolate pieces; sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Continue baking 20 minutes.
Chill 2 hours. Cut into bars.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

YUMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! I added vanilla extract to the oatmeal mix for a little extra flavor. This one's definitely a keeper!
