Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups pecans, chopped
- 1 cup toffee bits
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together with a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
Gradually add in the flour, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form a uniform layer.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top of the dough, gently pressing them into the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the toffee bits evenly over the top of the bars.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into 16 squares or bars. Serve and enjoy!
