Grease the bottom and sides of a 13x9 baking tin.

In a large bowl combine oats, flour, brown sugar and baking soda stir to mix well. Add melted butter and blend well.

Remove pan from oven sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts evenly over the crust then drizzle evenly with the caramel sauce.

Distribute the reserved oat mixture over the top (with fingertips) to form an even layer. Return pan to oven and cook for about 25 mins or top is golden brown.
