They are soft and gooey.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745580441919\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which type of caramels were used for this recipe?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Kraft brand 11 ounce caramel bits were used for this recipe.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745580777984\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do I really have to wait over 2 hours for these to cool before cutting them?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes! Waiting a couple hours for them to cool completely is vital before cutting them, as they would be extremely messy if you do not wait. You can also chill them in the fridge if you\u2019d like, but still please wait at least two hours before slicing into them to prevent a mess.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745580852635\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use jarred caramel sauce instead? <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I haven\u2019t tried it with the jarred sauce yet, but I suppose you could try it. It may be too thin for this recipe, but it may work out. If you experiment, please let me know how ti goes!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745580891044\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What\u2019s the best way to eat these?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">These Carmelita bars are super gooey. They can be really sticky if you are just eating them with your hands. If you have a sensory issue or don\u2019t like sticky fingers, grab a fork when digging in to these treats. Keep them chilled in the refrigerator \u2013 this will help it be less gooey.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745580924788\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use anything else in place of the oats?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I know some people just don\u2019t like oats in their desserts because of the texture that they bring. But honestly, I don\u2019t have a substitute on what you can use in place of them because they really help hold the base layer together and I can\u2019t think of anything else that would work just as well. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1745580799012\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I store leftover Carmelitas?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5-6 days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2208\" alt=\"A dessert plate with a few Carmelitas.\" class=\"wp-image-187553 perfmatters-lazy\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas.jpeg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas-483x711.jpeg 483w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas-696x1025.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas-768x1130.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas-1043x1536.jpeg 1043w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas-1391x2048.jpeg 1391w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"2208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas.jpeg\" alt=\"A dessert plate with a few Carmelitas.\" class=\"wp-image-187553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas-483x711.jpeg 483w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas-696x1025.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas-768x1130.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas-1043x1536.jpeg 1043w, https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas-1391x2048.jpeg 1391w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/main-image-Carmelitas.jpeg\"\/><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE)<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>salted butter<\/strong>\u2013 You can use unsalted butter if that\u2019s what you have on hand.
