Take 3 Tbs of flour and set aside. In a large bowl combine 1 cup of flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, soda, salt, and butter. Blend well to form crumbs. Press half of mixture (reserving the other half) into bottom of 11"x 7" or 9" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Remove from oven sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts. Blend caramel topping with flour, pour caramel mixture back and forth over chocolate. Sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes more or until golden brown. Chill for 1 to 2 hours. Then cut into bars.

good warm. Believe me, I couldn't wait to try them and they definitely taste much better when they were cooled down.
