Caramel Morsel Bars

Had these at a wedding shower and they were so yummy! my friend said she clipped this recipe from a kraft advertisement that appeared in a magazine about 30 years ago. she uses rice krisp cereal so not sure what it would be like with a toasted oat cereal.

Steps

Melt caramels with water in a saucepan over low heat.

Stir frequently till caramels are melted and sauce is smooth.

Toss cereal and peanuts together in a bowl.

Pour the melted caramel sauce over the mixture and toss until well coated.

With buttered fingers , press the mixture into a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan.

Sprinkle chocolate and butterscotch chips on top and place in a 200f oven for about 5 minutes or until chips are softened.

Spread the softened chips to blend slightly and form a frosting over the top.

Cool and cut into bars.

Cut into 30 bars or in sizes as desired.
