Cupcakes and cake have their charm for all the right reasons. Sprinkles, frostings and fillings are hard to beat, but when you combine the flavors of a Snickers bar with oatmeal in these oatmeal carmelitas, you’ll give those birthday-inspired treats a run for their sweet money.
Once you have the oat crumble down, you can use it as a base for your favorite fillings. Mix and match the chocolate — milk, semi-sweet and bittersweet all work great — and even add some toffee or coconut for a twist on a Heath or Almond Joy. For a true Snickers flavor use peanuts, but if you want to share the love with your peanut-free friends go for pecans or walnuts.
Bake, freeze, slice and share. You’ll be so glad you did.
