For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder to the oat mixture.
Toasting the nuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant.
Line the baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides, to easily lift the toffee out of the pan after baking.
Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and melting consistency.
For a richer flavor, substitute brown butter for the vegetable oil.

    My kids devoured this! It's so easy to make, and they loved helping me press the oatmeal mixture into the pan.

  • Selina Frami

    This recipe is a winner! The toffee is so addictive, and the oatmeal base is perfectly chewy.

  • Erwin Raynor

    I added a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate before it set, and it was amazing!

  • Mckenzie Skiles

    The toffee was a little crumbly for me. I think next time I'll try adding a tablespoon of melted butter to the oat mixture.
