All joking aside, it is pretty cool. We bake yummy goodies from home to send abroad to the WONDERFULLY COURAGEOUS AND DEDICATED men and women who serve in our armed forces. A plate of cookies or other goodies from home is the least we can do to say thanks! I've never met the recipient of my goodies, but he's my neighbor. The one that helped during the Tsunami relief effort, has been deployed several times since 2004, and who is dedicated to his country and service! Thanks Colin!
As per Kara, she asked that we take pics of our goodies! I have to admit, this isn't something I tend to do, so I kept forgetting to take pictures. But I did at least capture a few during the process. I made some Caramel Bars, another great recipes thanks to Allrecipes.com
The super yummy oat and butter mixture!!!!!!!
The super yummy oat and butter mixture!!!!!!!
Melted caramel with milk...it was supposed to be heavy cream, but I didn't have any!
The final result, a sea of melted caramel and chocolate chip, buttery goodness!
The recipe was REALLY easy and makes plenty! I changed it up a bit. I did a 9x12 and a 8x8 pan, so I tripled the oat flour mixture and added an extra 12 caramels and 2tbs of milk. Otherwise I sprinkled as many chocolate chips as I wanted (half cup? WHATEVER) and just dropped the left over oat mixture all around, lightly pushing it into the caramel. I highly recommend not cutting until they cool completely. It's really messy otherwise. If you want warm bars, cut them when they are cool and heat them up individually.
ENJOY!

Seriously? GREAT shots of your delicious treats for Colin - I KNOW he will love those (and maybe share them). I am loving seeing what everyone made as now I have a whole new arsenal of cookie/treat recipes (since clearly I need to eat/bake more - ha!). THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU - means so much that you are a part of this effort!
