Oatmeal-Coconut Crust, gooey Caramel, topped with White Chocolate

Gooey caramel with a crunchy, sticky oatmeal-coconut crust AND topped with white chocolate !

That is close to all my favorites in these White Chocolate Caramel Bars

I am usually very pessimistic when I’m making anything caramel or toffee-ish – and don’t even get me started on fudge ! Total nightmare and it just about never turns out 100%.

This recipe is so simple and it worked. The caramel is soft, gooey and what I was most excited about (yes, I get excited when a recipe works out when I thought it won’t!), it sets perfectly and cuts nicely into portions.
