Somewhere around 2008 a co-worker shared this recipe with me (and I originally shared it to this website on September 15, 2018 but that post needed completely overhauled, so here we are). In no way am I taking credit for this recipe because I did not change a single thing about it because you just can't improve upon perfection. The co-worker I got this recipe from actually called them Caramelito's or Caramelita's...so it took me a little bit of searching around, but similar oatmeal cookie bars are called Carmelita's...but this is by far the easiest and yummiest version of this dessert that I have come by so far.
