01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. In a big bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Then, add the butter and stir until everything is well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan to form the crust.

Step 2
Pop it in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until the crust feels firm and has a light golden color. While it’s still warm, sprinkle the toffee pieces evenly over the top and gently spread them out with a spatula as they start to melt.

Step 3
Next, melt the caramels in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Once melted, stir in the heavy cream until you have a nice, creamy sauce. Pour this caramel sauce over the melted toffee layer, then sprinkle the pecans on top.

Step 4
Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Let the bars cool completely for about 15 to 20 minutes so they set nicely before cutting them into squares. Enjoy!
