Heath Toffee Pecan Bars

Teresa Ambra
Heath Toffee Pecan Bars are the ultimate for a crunchy, chewy dessert. These scrumptious cookies are filled with Heath English Toffee Bits and pecans. They are marvelous to the taste buds, yet not all that difficult to make. Excellent dessert for potlucks, tailgating parties, summer holidays or family reunions. If you enjoy toffee flavored desserts, you'll love this one.

Equipment

  • 1 15 1/2x20" cookie sheet pan
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 nut chopper if nuts are not previously chopped
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter softened (3 sticks)
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar firmly packed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 4 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 cups sweetened coconut
  • 8 oz. bag Heath English toffee bits (see note below)
  • 3 cups pecans coarsely chopped (measure after chopping)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Grease or spray a large 15-1/2"x20” cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, combine butter, sugars, vanilla, eggs, salt and baking soda.
  • Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy.
  • Stir in flour, Heath English Toffee Bits, coconut and pecans with wooden spoon until combined.
  • Keep stirring; this may take 4-5 minutes.
  • Spread mixture into cookie sheet and pat down firmly.
  • Bake at 350° for about 25-30 minutes, or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

NOTE: Be careful not to over-bake the bars or they may dry out.
 
NOTE: Make sure the cookie dough is stirred really well and ingredients adhere together.
 
NOTE: I was baking multiple pans at the same time. My pans took about 35-40 minutes to bake.
 
NOTE: You will have to stretch the dough and pat it down firmly to get it to fit the pan. I had to keep my hands slightly moist to achieve this.
 
NOTE: I used a single 8-ounce bag of Heath English Toffee Bits. However, if you want a richer toffee flavor, use two 8-ounce bags.
