Tips:

Use old-fashioned oats. They have a chewier texture than quick-cooking oats, which will give your squares a more satisfying bite.
Don't overcook the oats. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them for the amount of time specified in the recipe, then check them to see if they're done.
Use a good quality toffee. The toffee is what gives these squares their rich, buttery flavor. Look for a toffee that is made with real butter and sugar, and that has a smooth, creamy texture.
Don't overbake the squares. You want them to be set, but not dry. Bake them for the amount of time specified in the recipe, then check them to see if they're done. A toothpick inserted into the center of the squares should come out clean.
Let the squares cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal toffee squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're chewy, gooey, and packed with flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these squares that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give oatmeal toffee squares a try. You won't be disappointed!
