Notes: Tips
*To toast pecans, bake them in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned
*If you don't have a candy thermometer, test the caramel by dropping a small amount of the mixture into cold water. If it forms a firm ball that doesn't flatten when removed from the water, it's ready
*To ensure clean cuts, refrigerate the cooled bars for about 30 minutes before cutting
