- Do not overcook the caramel mixture in the microwave. If it gets too hot, it will be difficult to stir and will not set properly.
- Be careful when stirring the caramel mixture. It will be very hot and can easily burn you.
- Use parchment paper to line the baking dish. This will make it easy to remove the bars from the pan once they have set.
- Press the caramel mixture firmly into the baking dish. This will help to prevent the bars from crumbling.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
