Oatmeal Brownie Milky Way Bars

2 cups Old Fashioned Oats

2 cups flour

1 cup packed light brown sugar

2 1/2 sticks room temp. butter

3/4 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

2 cups boxed brownie mix (I used dark chocolate)

1/3 cup canola oil

1 egg

1 bag (11 oz.) caramel squares

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 Milky Way bars

In a medium sauce pan, place the two Milky Ways, entire bag of caramels, and half cup of heavy cream. Let simmer over medium to medium low heat until fully melted. Remove from heat and let cool approximately ten minutes. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

In a large bowl combine oats, flour, baking soda, salt, brown sugar, and butter. Either use a fork to incorporate or use hands to combine. The chunks of butter should be no larger than the size of a pea. 

Add in two cups of brownie mix, egg, and oil. Stir until just combined. 

Using a prepared 9x13 baking dish, spread half of the oat mixture into dish and press firmly to flatten. (Make sure you don't use more than half because you won't have enough to cover the top.) 

Pour the melted Milky Way mixture over the oat mixture. Make sure to get all the way to the corners. 

Top with remaining oat mixture. 

Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes.
