Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup butter softened
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup toffee bits
Makes: 9 x 13inch rectangle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Either spray a 9x13-inch pan or line with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Combine 2 cups all-purpose flour and ½ cup powdered sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Cut in the 1 cup butter until it makes a coarse meal. Use a pastry cutter or a hand mixer to make that task easier.
- Press the crumbs into the prepared pan. It should come together and form a crust as you press it together.
- In the same bowl, beat together the 14 oz sweetened condensed milk, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Stir in the 1 cup toffee bits and 1 cup chopped pecans. Spread over the crust.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
- Cool at room temperature for about an hour and then chill before cutting and serving.
