Cooking Instructions!
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch (23x33cm) baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract for the crust. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the baking dish.
In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the granulated sugar, corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract for the caramel filling. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once boiled, reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for another 5 minutes.
Pour the caramel filling over the crust in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, quick-cooking oats, brown sugar, melted butter, salt, and chopped nuts (optional) for the topping.
Sprinkle the topping mixture over the caramel filling, covering it completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into bars.
