Notes

The pecan caramel is supposed to harden while refrigerating. It creates a 'magic shell' experience when digging into the oats. If you are preparing it in individual jars, I recommend layering the caramel throughout the jar. You'll get some in every bite!
Store in the refrigerator in the jar or any other airtight container. The oats are best enjoyed within 3 days of assembling, making these a great option for meal prep! Storing for much longer, however, they'll become pretty mushy.
