Preparation

Step 1

1. Position rack in the center of the oven, set a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet on the rack, and heat the oven to 375 degrees.

2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter is brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately whisk in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and Lyle’s Golden Syrup until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. One at a time, whisk in the eggs. Whisk in the bourbon, espresso powder, vanilla, and salt. Stir in chopped pecans.

3. Sprinkle half of the pecan halves in the pie crust, followed by toffee candy pieces, and then the remaining pecan halves. Pour the syrup mixture over all.

4. Put the pie on the heated baking sheet and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake until set, 45 to 55 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking. When the pan is nudged, the center of the pie will no longer wobble, but the whole pie will juggle just slightly, and the filling will bubble at the edges.
