Preparation

Step 1

Place flour, brown sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl, stir to combine. Using a pastry blender, cut 1/2 cup cold butter into flour mixture until you have course crumbs (like sand.) Press mixture into bottom of prepared pan. Spread pecan halves evenly over top of crust.

Prepare the toffee-place 6 tablespoons butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar into a heavy saucepan. Heat on low until butter is melted. Turn up to medium heat and stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Continue to boil for 1 minute. Immediately and carefully, pour toffee over crust and pecans.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20-22 minutes, until edges are starting to bubble. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over top of hot bars. Gently tap pan on counter to secure chocolate chips into place.

I'm Joan and I live in a small town in Georgia where kids still say ‘yes ma’am and ‘no sir’ and the food is mostly cooked from scratch. I’m lucky enough to be mom to CJ, Cassie and Grace which means that, in addition to cooking, I also work as a taxi service, homework checker, laundry doer, housecleaner and gardener. Although, to be honest I try to avoid those last two as much as possible.
