How to Make Caramel Pecan Dream Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, softened margarine, and egg.
  3. Mix on high speed until the mixture is crumbly.
  4. Press the crumbly mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  6. Stir in the pecans and toffee bits.
  7. Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the pressed cake mix layer.
  8. Spread the topping to cover the entire base.
  9. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the bars are lightly golden brown and the center is just set. The center may appear slightly soft, but it will firm up as it cools.
  10. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows them to set properly and prevents them from crumbling.
