Step 4: Bake

Transfer the pan into a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven.

Bake for 8–10 minutes.

You’ll see the caramel bubbling beautifully, melding with the crackers and creating that signature toffee texture.

Step 5: Cool & Break Apart

Remove the pan from the oven and allow everything to cool completely.

Once cooled, lift the candy slab from the pan and break it into pieces.
This rustic look is part of the charm—no perfect squares needed!
