As you probably already know, my Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are my husband’s very favorite cookies. Well, these amazing Oatmeal Rolo Bars are coming in as a close second. He said, and I quote, “Lisa. These will be the death of me. Oatmeal and caramel together? Oh my god.” I hope that these are as big of a hit in your house as they are in mine!
Unsalted Butter
Most baking recipes call for unsalted butter. The reason for this is because from brand to brand the amount of salt in the butter can vary. By using unsalted butter and then adding the salt to the dough, you can control the amount of salt. If you only have salted butter on hand, you can skip the salt in this recipe and make the recipe as written.

If you make this recipe or any of my other recipes, please leave me a comment. I love hearing from you.
Use room temperature butter. Room temperature butter is best for creaming with sugar. Room temperature butter will feel cold to the touch, but is easy to dent with your finger. Use fresh baking soda. Typically it should be replaced every six months. To test if your baking soda is fresh, add a little to some vinegar. It should bubble and react right away. Measure your flour correctly. This is less important for a bar recipe than a cookie recipe, but you should scoop your flour with a spoon into a measuring cup and then level it off. Using a measuring cup to scoop directly from the container you keep your flour in can result in too much flour or a dry dessert.
