PECAN TOFFEE SQUARES
This is my great uncle's favorite dessert. I made this for his birthday(2/29) until Alzheimer's took him away from us. Every time I make this, it prompts my husband and sons to share their memories of him. Can be served warm or cold with or without Cool Whip® topping. Refrigerate leftovers.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Mix sweetened condensed milk, 1 egg, pecans, toffee bits, and vanilla extract in a bowl until well blended; set aside.
- Cut the butter and 1 egg into the yellow cake mix in a large bowl with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the crumbs into the prepared pan to form a bottom layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 7 minutes. Spread pecan filling over the baked bottom layer, then continue baking until the filling has set, 22 to 30 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Serve with whipped topping.

Steps:
- Line a 10 x 15 inch jelly roll pan with graham crackers.
- Melt butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil and cook exactly 2 minutes. Pour Mixture over graham crackers. Sprinkle with nuts.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Cut in to small squares to serve.
Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make the toffee to prevent burning.
- Be careful not to overcook the toffee; it should be a light golden color.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the toffee by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, it is ready.
- Once the toffee is spread on the pecans, allow it to cool completely before cutting the squares. This will help the toffee to set and harden.
- These squares can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
