Steps:
- 1. Grease a 15 x 10 x 1" pan with 1-2 tablespoons butter; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, melt the remaining butter.

Break into bite-size pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Yummm...I love shortbread. When you add chocolate, pecans and toffee- this one is a must have! The next time I make this I may add some additional pecans in the shortbread dough.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
- 2. Cream together sugar and butter. Add flour in parts, making sure it is well blended before adding more flour.
- 3. Spread onto ungreased jelly roll pan (12"x17") and smooth with rolling pin (1/4" thickness).
- 4. Bake at 250 degrees for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours. If using 9"x12" jelly roll pan (1/2" thickness), bake for 2 to 2-1/2 hours.
- 5. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave. Pour over hot shortbread (immediately after taking out of oven) and spread with frosting spatula.
- 6. Immediately sprinkle toffee bits and chopped pecans evenly over chocolate. Cut into bars or squares using a sharp knife and let cool, making sure they are not touching while chocolate hardens. Do not refrigerate.
Tips:
- Use fresh pecans: Fresh pecans will have a better flavor and texture than stale ones. If you can, buy them in the shell and crack them yourself just before using.
- Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Use a good quality toffee: The toffee is what will give your pecans their signature flavor, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a toffee that is made with real butter and sugar, and that has a rich, buttery flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the toffee: If you overcook the toffee, it will become hard and brittle. Cook it just until it reaches a light golden brown color, and then remove it from the heat.
- Work quickly: Once you've coated the pecans in toffee, you need to work quickly to spread them out on a baking sheet. If you don't, the toffee will start to harden and become difficult to work with.
Conclusion:
Toffee-covered pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or treat. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just for enjoying at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own toffee-covered pecans that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
