Cool Caramel



This is a long time favorite and goes over really well at picnics. You have to remember to make it ahead of time- that is the only problem. It is worth the hassle, though!

Cool Caramel

1/2 C. brown sugar
2 C. flour (I go a little light)
2 sticks of butter, melted (1 cup)
1/2 C. oatmeal (I go a little heavy)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. chopped walnuts
1 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
1 jar of caramel sauce

Mix all ingredients except for ice cream and caramel sauce. Press into a greased cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes (until golden brown) at 400 degrees. While still warm, crumble with a fork. After crumble has cooled, sprinkle half into a 9x13 pan. Drizzle with half of the caramel sauce and then scoop the vanilla ice cream over the crumb mixture. Top with the rest of the crumb mixture and the rest of the caramel sauce. Freeze overnight (or at least for 4 hours or so) before serving.
