These gooey Caramel Pumpkin Pie Bars layered with a brown sugar oatmeal crust, pumpkin caramel filling and caramel filled chocolate chips.

We recently signed up for Blue Apron. I was skeptical at first, thinking maybe we wouldn’t really like the menu, or we just would end up throwing out the food. We are both working long hours and have a hard time making meals at home.

Well we just finished week two of meals, and it has been great. We are making foods we would not normally try, and best of all, my boyfriend is making some of the dinners! We joke that he has done more cooking in the past two weeks than he has done in the four years we’ve been dating. And by joking, I mean, he thinks I’m joking when I say that. It’s been a huge help to me! I could definitely get used to this. The only downfall is, the next 3 weeks of meals aren’t so attractive, so we’re skipping it and I have to go grocery shopping ASAP.

One thing I’m not skipping, is a bite of these gooey Caramel Pumpkin Pie Bars. The bars haunted me in the refrigerator all weekend. Seriously, if I opened the refrigerator, I couldn’t look in there for too long.

Two years ago, I made the original Gooey Pumpkin Pie Bars. While I was hanging out in the baking aisle at Target, I noticed the new Eagle Brand caramel flavor sweetened condensed milk. Right away, I knew what I wanted to make.

Recently I saw that Eagle Brand was releasing two new flavors of their sweetened condensed milk, a caramel flavor and a chocolate flavor. I’ve been keeping my eyes out for it, and I finally found it! Think of all the recipe combinations!!

I altered my original recipe by adding an extra cup of rolled oats because I like a nice thick crust. I also decided to add some Nestle Caramel-filled Chocolate chips. Chocolate is a great compliment to pumpkin, and I tend to forget about it!

After these have cooled, I prefer to keep them refrigerated, but it’s not a requirement. Serve these will a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel. It’s up to you if you want to share with your friends!
