Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 cup butter, softened
Filling
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch salt
- 1 package (8 ounces) milk chocolate English toffee bits
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and confectioners’ sugar. Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture firmly onto the bottom of a greased 13×9-inch baking dish to form an even crust layer.
- Bake the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the crust for 15 minutes until it begins to set and lightly color.
- Make the filling: While the crust bakes, in a separate large bowl, beat together the sweetened condensed milk, egg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
- Add mix-ins: Stir the milk chocolate English toffee bits and chopped pecans into the condensed milk mixture until evenly distributed.
- Assemble the pie: Spread the filling mixture evenly over the baked crust in the baking dish.
- Bake the assembled pie: Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until the top is lightly browned and the filling is set.
- Cool and chill: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate until chilled thoroughly.
- Serve: Cut into bars and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for easy incorporation into the crust mixture.
- Press the crust firmly and evenly to prevent crumbling after baking.
- Use a greased baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Allow the pie to chill completely for the best texture and flavor.
- Can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Optional: Add a drizzle of caramel sauce or whipped cream when serving for extra indulgence.
