Butter Pecan Toffee Brownies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350
• To prepare brownies, coat bottom of an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray (do not coat sides of pan)
• Combine brown sugar and next 3 ingredients (brown sugar through egg) in a large bowl; stir well with whisk.
• Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine the flour pecans, baking powder, and salt; add to brown sugar mixture.
• Spread batter in bottom of prepared pan. Bake at 350 for 22 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Cool on a wire rack.
• To prepare the topping, combine powdered sugar, minichips, and hot water n a small bowl, stir until smooth. Spread topping over brownies, and sprinkle with brickle chips.
• Chill 30 minutes or until topping is set.

Steps:

• Make the brownies: Preheat the oven to 325˚. Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Combine the butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in both sugars until dissolved. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, until smooth and glossy, then whisk in the vanilla. Whisk in the flour and kosher salt until combined, then whisk in the pecans. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared skillet.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the brownies are slightly cracked on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let the brownies cool in the skillet.
• As soon as the brownies come out of the oven, make the toffee topping: Combine the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium to maintain a steady simmer and cook, without stirring, until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Carefully pour in the heavy cream (it might boil up slightly) and simmer until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the pecans. Let cool until thickened but still pourable, about 20 minutes.
• Pour the topping on the brownies and let set, 1 hour. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if using. Serve with ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cake mix, 1 egg, and 1 stick melted butter and pat into 13x9 pan. Mix cream cheese, 1 egg, 1 stick butter (softened), and box of powdered sugar until smooth. Pour on top of cake mixture. Sprinkle pecans on top, if desired. Bake for 60 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°.
• Mix first three ingredients and press into a 9 x 13" pan.
• Mix confectioners' sugar, melted butter eggs and cream cheese together, pour on bottom layer.
• Sprinkle with pecan chips.
• Bake for 55 minutes or until cake tests done.
• Cut into bars when cool.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the crust: Whisk together the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Remove the butter from the freezer and work it into the dough by hand, working quickly to keep the butter as cold as possible. (Cold butter flakes are the secret to a flaky crust.) Be sure to leave pea-size butter flecks visible. Slowly pour the ice water into flour mixture. Using your hands, mix until a dough starts to form. Be careful not to overmix. It should appear shaggy but cohesive.
• Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out into a 1/4-inch-thick circle, 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough round to a 9-inch pie dish. Press the dough down into the dish. Tuck any overhanging dough back under the rim, using your hands to create a thick outer edge. Use a fork to crimp the edges or your hands to pinch for a more professional look. Place in the freezer to chill for 15 minutes.
• Remove from the freezer. Using a toothpick or a fork, poke holes in the bottom of the crust. Line the crust with parchment paper and fill the raw pie shell with pie weights or dried beans. Blind bake for 15 to 20 minutes until it begins to lightly brown. Remove from the oven and remove the parchment and pie weights.
• Beat the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush the edges of the crust with the egg wash. Return to the oven and bake until light golden, about 10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely before filling. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• For the filling: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Slowly cook the butter, letting it bubble and swirling the pan occasionally, until it browns, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• Whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, molasses, bourbon and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs. Fold in the pecans and salt. Once combined, stir in the brown butter. Pour the filling into the crust.
• Bake until the pie is golden brown, the filling is set and the internal temperature measures 200 degrees F, 40 to 45 minutes. (Check the pie after 30 minutes and tent the crust with foil if it is browning too quickly.) There should be a slight wiggle to the center of the pie. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• For the whipped cream: Add the heavy cream to a large chilled bowl. Using an electric hand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip on medium speed until soft, cloud-like peaks form. Turn the mixer speed to low and add the confectioners' sugar and salt. Gently fold in the bourbon.
• Slice the pie into 8 equal pieces and top each slice with bourbon whipped cream.
