There goes the diet. Gonna make these for dessert tonight. :)
If the hobbits could get chocolate chips they'd be doubling the recipe!

OATMEAL CARMELITAS
CRUST:
2 cups flour
2 cups oats
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cup margarine or butter

FILLING:
1 jar (12 1/2 oz.) caramel topping
3 tbl. flour
1 pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts

Combine crust ingredients in a large bowl with a mixer. Press half of crust mixture into a 13x9x2 baking pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine caramel topping and 3 tbl. flour. Remove partially baked crust from oven. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts. Drizzle on caramel topping. Crumble reserved crust mixture over all. Bake an additional 18-22 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.

Oh I love this recipe! We have one very similar that we inherited from my husband's girlfriend before me, which she got from her German grandmother. They called it Polish Chocolate Oatmeal cake, and it's yummy, stick-to-your-ribs good eating!!!
