  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup toffee bits (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  7. In a medium saucepan, combine the packed brown sugar, evaporated milk, and 1/2 cup of butter.
  8. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  9. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  11. Stir in the chopped pecans and toffee bits (if using).
  12. Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the crust.
  13. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and lightly golden.
  14. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For an extra toffee flavor, use toffee bits in the topping.
  • Ensure the bars are completely cooled before cutting for clean slices.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
