Preheat oven to 350 deg.
In large bowl combine
1 cup flour
1 cup oats
3/4 cup softened butter
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Beat at low speed until well mixed. (I acutally use my hands) Evenly pat mixture onto ungreased 13x9 pan. Bake 10 min.
While crust is baking mix the following:
1 (12.5 oz) jar of caramel topping
3 Tablespoons flour
Mix until well mixed, no lumps.
When crust is done remove from oven, sprinkle 1 (12 oz) pkg chocolate chips on top of crust
sprinkle top of choc chips with 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
Drizzle the caramel mixture over the top put back in oven and continue baking 20 to 25 min, or until browned.
Cool, before cutting into bars.

I don't use all the caramel topping. I use about 3/4 of the mixture unless I doubled the crust receipe and put it in the foil cookie sheet pans, then I use all the topping.
