Pecan Toffee Squares Recipe

• Sprinkle the pecan halves or chopped pecans evenly over the toffee layer, pressing them gently into the toffee so they stick.

4. Bake the Squares:

• Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the toffee is bubbling and the pecans are toasted.

5. Optional Chocolate Drizzle:

• If you’d like to add a chocolate drizzle, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
• Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the cooled pecan toffee squares for a decorative and extra indulgent touch.

6. Cool and Slice:

• Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Once completely cooled, cut them into squares or bars.

Tips:

• Storage: Store Pecan Toffee Squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They can also be refrigerated if you prefer them chilled.
• Make-Ahead: You can make these squares ahead of time and store them for up to a week.
• Nut Substitutes: If you’re not a fan of pecans, you can substitute them with other nuts like walnuts or almonds.

These Pecan Toffee Squares are the perfect combination of buttery shortbread, crunchy pecans, and rich toffee. They’re sure to be a crowd-pleaser at any gathering or holiday celebration! Enjoy!
