Ingredients
Instructions
- Cover the bottom of a 9-inch uncooked pie shell with broken Heath bars.

- Mix well and add chopped pecans.
- Pour the mixture over the Heath bars in the pie shell.
- Bake at 350°F for 50 to 55 minutes or until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark corn syrup instead of light. You can also substitute walnuts or almonds for pecans if desired. Make sure to break the Heath bars into small pieces for even distribution in the pie. If you prefer a crunchy topping, reserve some chopped pecans to sprinkle on top before baking.
Serving Suggestions
This Heath Bar English Toffee Pecan Pie is delightful on its own but pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serve alongside a hot cup of coffee or tea for a comforting dessert experience. For a festive touch, consider serving it with Orange Marmalade Muffins for brunch gatherings.
