TOASTED PECAN TOFFEE BARS

Category: Bars

Bar
2 cup flour
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Topping
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Heat oven to 350. Combine all bar ingredients except 3/4 cup pecans and 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips in large mixer bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in 3/4 cup pecans and 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips by hand. Press mixture onto bottom of greased 13x9 inch baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Immediately sprinkle with 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips; let stand 5 minutes. Slightly swirl chips as they melt, leaving some whole for a marbled effect. Do not spread chips. Immediately sprinkle with 1/4 cup pecans. Cool completely. Cut into bars.
