This is another picture from one of those bags. And by the way, that's my Auntie Marilyn - of brickle fame - with the ponytails.

Auntie Marilyn's Butter Brickle

2 cups flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
scant 1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup pecans
1/2 jar caramel sauce
1 pint vanilla ice-cream

Melt butter - add flour, oats, sugar & pecans. Pat thinly on a large cookie sheet and bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Crumble while hot. Drizzle 1/2 the caramel sauce over crumbs. Spread ice-cream over top. Put remaining crumbs over ice-cream and drizzle remaining caramel. Freeze.

Mmmmmmm
