How to Make English Toffee Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  5. Sprinkle ½ cup chopped pecans evenly over the crust.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine ⅔ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter and ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar.
  7. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  8. Continue boiling, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
  9. Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the pecan layer.
  10. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden brown.
  11. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle 1 cup milk chocolate chips evenly over the warm toffee.
  12. Gently press the chocolate chips into the toffee.
  13. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting.
  14. Once cooled, cut into approximately 36 bars.
