Simple ingredients and an uncomplicated recipe yields a pan full of yummy treats. Chewy/crisp caramel taste on the bottom, a thin layer of chocolate and a sprinkling of nuts combine in a wonderful harmony of flavours.
These bars keep well at room temperature in a sealed container for about a week, or freeze them for longer storage. If they hang around that long.
Pecan Toffee Bars
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 15 x 10 x 1 inch jelly roll pan.
Beat together the butter and sugar. Add the egg and vanilla and beat well. Stir in flour until well blended.
Spread dough evenly in pan - it will be thin.
Bake 25 minutes until lightly browned.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Return pan to oven for no more than 2 minutes. With an off set spatula spread the now melted chocolate evenly over the base. Sprinkle with pecans. When cool, cut into bars.
Absolutely great recipe. Will try it! I posted a recipe today as well on my blog.
