The flavor of these Dulce De Leche Oatmeal Bars is so simple, and it requires only 5 ingredients to make them. The shelf life of the bar is pretty amazing.
When Valli announced the A-Z mega marathon, I thought right away that this was a perfect opportunity for me to clean up my bookmark list and cook from it.
Over a couple of years of blogging, I have bookmarked several recipes from fellow bloggers to try. Some recipes are so amazing that as soon as I see them, I want to make them.
Dulce De Leche oatmeal bar is one such recipe that I chose to make today for the dish beginning with the letter D. This is the first time I have used dulce de leche, and in spite of it being quite expensive, I will be using it more often.
The flavor of these bars is so simple, and they require only 5 ingredients to make them. The shelf life of the bar is pretty amazing. I had these bars stored in 2 different boxes, and I had them on the countertop.
I had entirely forgotten about one of the boxes for about 2 weeks, and when I opened it to check, they were perfectly fine. We still relished it after 3 weeks, and it was perfectly delicious.
When you are in the mood for one of those desserts that you can chew slowly and enjoy, then this is the one. The caramel layer gives the bar a very chewy texture in the middle, and the bottom crust is an oatmeal cookie dough layer, topped with crumbled cookie dough. I got this recipe from Roxana’s Home Baking.
