Carmellettas are one of those desserts I grew up coming home to after school. It reminds me of a layered chocolate chip oatmeal cookie with caramel. I remember growing up my mom would have us help her unwrap all the caramels and we would always eat some along the way. For the flavor this recipe has, it is a fairly simple recipe with your everyday ingredients. This is a great recipe to have your kids help you with as they cannot really mess them up. Plus who really wants to unwrap 64 caramels themselves! I highly suggest getting the pellets. I hope you and your kids enjoy this recipe as much as I did growing up and still do to this day.
