These delightful squares combine the crunch of pecans with the sweetness of toffee for a treat that's perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for your squares.
Crush the buttery crackers into fine crumbs and place them in a mixing bowl.
Use a food processor for quicker and finer crumbs.
Add 1 cup of the crushed toffee bits, 3/4 cup of the chopped pecans, and the can of sweetened condensed milk to the bowl.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Mix everything well until fully combined.
A silicone spatula works great for mixing sticky ingredients.
Press the mixture evenly into a buttered 9-inch square pan.
Use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
Sprinkle the remaining toffee bits and pecans evenly over the top.
Press the toppings lightly to help them adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes.
Do not overbake; the squares should be just set.
Allow the pan to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Cooling ensures the squares hold their shape when cut.
