Is there anything better than a pecan pie?? Well, I think I may have found the answer this week…
A Toffee Pecan Pie!
The toffee pieces just give a little twist to
an already delectable dessert 🙂
1 pre-made pie crust (I love Pillsbury!)
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 stick butter, melted
2 cups pecans, chopped
1 cup toffee bits
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place crust in your pie dish.
Pour pecans and then toffee bits in crust. In a large bowl, melt the butter and add
the sugar, corn syrup, vanilla; stir.
