- While the crust is baking, melt the caramels and heavy cream in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Pour the melted caramel over the baked crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the caramel.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
