The sun is shining! I’ve been busy developing and photographing lots of exciting recipes for a new platform (more news to come) as well as writing and baking and making these (slightly addictive) Salted Caramel Chocolate Oatmeal Bars.
Recently, a recipe from one of my favourite blogs, Pinch of Yum, popped into my inbox and I knew instantly that I had to make it. The recipe was for Chocolate Caramel Oatmeal Bars. Since I had half a jar of Bonne Maman Confiture de Caramel left over, having made The ‘Big Daddy’ Salted Caramel Fudge Cake last weekend, I knew this would be the perfect recipe to make for a girls night in. I had actually been instructed to come with salad, but these were too good not to bring instead! Mine turned out a little more crumbly than on Pinch of Yum, as I had to convert measurements, plus I had an extra little pair of helping hands (which meant half the flour was all over the floor!) but they were equally tasty. Having made them once, I made them again to take to our summer fair, along with a big batch of cupcakes and as I type, I’m seriously craving them again…

Andrea Mynard says
These look very good, I really love salted caramel in anything too. Have to admit to making a bit of a hash of making caramel recently so I really like the look of that jar too! And it’s school fete on Friday so very glad od last minute baking ideas.
Ren Behan says
Yes so simple and really tastes great – not mass produced. Caramel is so hard to make, you can get the taste and texture so easily wrong. Enjoy the school fete! x

What a stunning recipe, as always.
But I must look out for the Bonne Maman Confiture de Caramel.
That alone is bliss !
