No Bake Salted Caramel (Print)
Quick no bake caramel and oat treats with a sweet, salty twist.
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or butter
02 -
1/2 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
03 -
1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 -
Pinch of sea salt
06 -
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
07 -
1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
# Directions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter or butter, caramel sauce, honey or brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Stir in a pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness.
02 -
Gradually stir in the rolled oats until the mixture thickens enough to hold its shape when formed into balls. If using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in gently at this stage.
03 -
Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough onto a plate or tray lined with parchment paper. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten slightly to form cookie-like shapes.
04 -
Place the shaped cookies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up. Once set, transfer them to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to one week.

Enjoy chilled or at room temperature. Pair with milk, coffee, or tea for added indulgence.
