Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment.
- 2. Prepare the crust. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until light, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg yolk, vanilla, and salt. On low speed, gradually beat in the flour just until mixed. The dough will be stiff. Pat the dough evenly over the bottom of the baking pan.

- 4. Remove the pan from the oven and scatter the chocolate pieces evenly over the crust. Return the pan to the oven for 1 minute. Remove the pan again and, using a knife, spread the chocolate evenly over the crust. Sprinkle evenly with the almonds.
- 5. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Using a sharp knife, cut into small squares, then carefully remove from the pan with a small offset spatula or an icing spatula.

Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help to prevent the toffee from burning.
- Be patient when making the toffee. It takes time for the sugar to dissolve and the toffee to thicken.
- Don't overcook the toffee. Otherwise, it will become hard and brittle.
- Use fresh pecans. Stale pecans will not taste as good in the toffee squares.
- Toast the pecans before using them. This will bring out their flavor.
- Let the toffee squares cool completely before cutting them. Otherwise, they will be too soft and sticky.
Conclusion:
Toffee squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple combination of sugar, butter, pecans, and vanilla extract. The toffee is cooked until it is thick and golden brown, then poured over a layer of toasted pecans. The squares are then left to cool and harden before being cut into pieces. Toffee squares are a great gift idea, and they are also perfect for parties and potlucks.
