Dulce De Leche Bars are a dessert-style snack that are great for an after-dinner dessert or a mid-day snack. Made with delicious caramelized sweetened condensed milk and a mix of crunchy toffee pieces plus coarsely chopped pecans, these bars offer a rich and indulgent texture. The crust is made from a mix of oats, flour and brown sugar baked until a light golden color. These are perfect for people who enjoy sweet treats but don’t want anything too heavy.

3.	Add the softened butter and mix until a crumbly dough forms
4.	Press the dough evenly into the lined baking pan and bake for 15 minutes.
5.	While the crust is baking, mix the caramelized sweetened condensed milk and toffee pieces in a small bowl, and stir until well combined.
6.	Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven and pour the caramel mixture on top of it.
7.	Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the caramel layer and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
8.	Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
