Hip Builders

Ingredients:

2 C flour

2 1/2 C oatmeal

1 1/2 C brown sugar

1 1/2 C butter

1/2 tsp salt

1 tsp soda

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp vanilla

*************************************************************************

1 C chopped pecans

1 C Mrs. Richardson's Caramel fudge or Smuckers Dulce de leche milk caramel topping

2 C choc. chips

How to Make:

Melt butter and mix with first ingredients (the ones before the ********). Set 1/3 or the mix aside and pat the rest in the bottom of a 9x13 "pam sprayed" dish. Bake @ 350 for 10 min.

While that is cooking: Chop pecans into small pieces. Melt (until runny) 1 C of fudge or caramel topping.

When the first 10 min is done baking remove it from the oven and immediately sprinkle 2 C chocolate chips on top of hot mixture. Sprinkle pecans on top of choc chips then pour the runny topping over that. Sprinkle the remaining 2/3 of the mixture over the top of that. Bake 10- 15 min more. Cool and cut in to small squares because they really do build up those hips!
