Time 45m

Yield 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 ounce) package white cake mix
1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 egg
2 tablespoons 2% low-fat milk
8 ounces low-fat cream cheese, softened
16 ounces caramel ice cream topping
12 ounces milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Coat a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray (or line with sprayed foil to help get them out of the pan after baking & make clean-up easier).
  • Combine cake mix and oatmeal. Cut in peanut butter until mixture looks like fine crumbs.
  • Whisk the egg with the milk and add to crumb mixture, stirring until well mixed. Reserving 3/4 cup of mixture, press remainder into bottom of pan.
  • Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add caramel and beat until well mixed. (Take the lid off the caramel jar then microwave for a few seconds to make more pourable.)
  • Spread caramel cream cheese mixture over crust.
  • Sprinkle with chocolate chips and reserved crumbs.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool completely; cut into bars.
  • These are really rich so cut into small bars!
