Toffee Pecan Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix flour and confectioners' sugar; cut in butter until mixture is crumbly., Press into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix egg, milk and vanilla. Fold in toffee bits and pecans. Spoon over crust. Bake until golden brown, 24-26 minutes. Refrigerate until firm. Cut into bars.

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add the butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Whisk the egg yolk with 1/4 cup ice water; add 2 tablespoons to the food processor and pulse a couple of times. Add the remaining egg mixture and pulse a few more times until the dough just comes together but is still crumbly. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; shape into a disk and wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Ease the dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp with your fingers or a fork. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk the eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla and butter extracts, lemon juice, salt, pecans and toffee bits in a large bowl until combined. Pour the filling into the chilled crust. Transfer the pie to the hot baking sheet and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake until the crust is deep golden and the filling is set around the edge but still jiggly in the center, 55 minutes to 1 hour. (Tent the crust with foil if it browns too quickly.) Transfer to a rack and let cool completely.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Grease bottom and sides of 15x10x1-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray (do not use dark pan).
• In large bowl, beat 3/4 cup butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg; beat until well blended. On low speed, beat in flour until dough begins to form. Press dough in pan.
• Bake 12 to 17 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat 1 cup butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar and the corn syrup to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently. Boil 2 minutes without stirring.
• Quickly stir pecans into corn syrup mixture; spread over partially baked crust. Bake 20 to 23 minutes or until filling is golden brown and bubbly.
• Immediately sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over hot bars. Let stand 5 minutes to soften. With rubber spatula, gently swirl melted chips over bars. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 24 squares (6 rows by 4 rows), then cut each square in half to make triangles. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Line 17x12-inch half-sheet pan with foil; spray foil with cooking spray. In 3-quart heavy saucepan, heat sugar, butter, corn syrup and water to boiling over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium; cook about 10 minutes, stirring constantly, to 300°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water separates into hard, brittle threads. (Watch carefully so mixture does not burn.)
• Stir in 1 cup of the pecans; immediately pour toffee mixture into pan. Quickly spread mixture to 1/4-inch thickness with rubber spatula. Sprinkle with chocolate chips; let stand about 1 minute or until chips are completely softened. Spread softened chocolate evenly over toffee. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup pecans.
• Let stand at room temperature about 1 hour or refrigerate, if desired, until firm. Break into pieces. Store tightly covered.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Make and bake cookies as directed on pouch for drop cookies. Cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
• In food processor, process half of the cookies to coarse crumbs. Remove to medium bowl. Continue to process second half of remaining cookies to coarse crumbs; add to bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup pecans and the melted butter until well blended. In ungreased 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, press cookie crumb mixture firmly in bottom. Set aside.
• In large bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar and 1/2 cup of the caramel topping with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended, scraping down side of bowl frequently. Beat in 2 cups of the whipped topping; stir in 1/2 cup of the toffee bits. Spread over cookie crust.
• In medium bowl, beat dry pudding mixes and milk with whisk about 2 minutes or until thick. Spread over cream cheese mixture. Drop remaining whipped topping by spoonfuls over pudding layer; spread carefully. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours until well chilled.
• Before serving, transfer remaining 2 tablespoons caramel topping into small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal, and cut one small corner off bag. Drizzle caramel on top of whipped topping layer. Sprinkle with remaining pecans, toffee bits and chocolate chips on top. Cut into 6 rows by 4 rows. Cover and refrigerate any remaining dessert.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spread pecans in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown; cool.
• In small bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In medium bowl, beat butter and shortening with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and brown sugar, beating until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. On low speed, beat in flour mixture until blended. Stir in pecans and toffee candy.
• Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. Onto cookie sheets, drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls 2 to 3 inches apart.
• Bake 17 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.

Steps:

• 1. Line a jelly roll pan with foil (this is for easy clean-up). Fill the pan with the crackers salted side up. My pan holds 42 club crackers, 7 across and 6 rows. Lay in pan with sides touching and don't break crackers while placing in the pan because this will cause the syrup to run down in the pan and off the cookie. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• 2. Bring margarine and brown sugar to boil in saucepan. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the pecans. Pour this mixture over crackers that have been placed flat in a single layer, making sure they are coated evenly and completely.
• 3. Bake for exactly 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely in pan. Separate into individual crackers and place in air-tight container with wax paper between each layer so they don't stick together
• 4. NOTE: Can use soda crackers or graham crackers but we prefer the buttery flavor of the club crackers. You can also sprinkle on some chocolate chips on top when you take them out of the oven and after they have softened after a couple of minutes spread them around a little.
