Toffee Pecan Pie makes a delicious twist on the traditional Pecan Pie we all know and love.
I love the twists and turns this pie takes.
When you first see it, you expect it to be the same pecan pie you’ve consumed since birth, but then, with one bite, you know this pie is very different but you can’t figure out exactly how.
And then, you finally get the nerve up to ask exactly what is different about this pecan pie to discover the addition of toffee bits that made all the difference.
Here’s the recipe for my Toffee Pecan Pie. Give it a try when you want a fun and flavorful twist to you pie.

If I use a store bought crust, which size do I need? Regular or deep?
Heather, I would use a regular pie crust. I hope you enjoy!
Can this pie be frozen after baked?
Trina, you can freeze the toffee pecan pie. Prepare the pie and allow it to cool completely. Wrap the pie plate entirely in foil, making sure to wrap it entirely around the top and bottom of the pie. Then, place the wrapped pie into a freezer-safe zip-top bag and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw the pie overnight in the refrigerator before slicing and serving. I hope you enjoy.
Does the crust need to be pre-baked?
No it doesn’t need to be pre-baked. Thanks!
Can you use the shortbread crust?
Scrumptious Robyn. I left the s off of scrumptious over the Thanksgiving Holidays, so here’s the correction. I was asked to make this pie and the classic southern pecan pie again for Christmas and it was on. Everybody loved both pies again. They told me that I was going to make them gain weight. Happy New Year!

Your standard pecan pie recipe requires a half cup of butter. Does this one need less butter because of the toffee???
Hi Amanda,
You can certainly use my standard pecan pie recipe as a base and add in the toffee if you’d like. I thought that the butter flavor was a bit overwhelming to me, but my husband loves it that way. I think it is a matter of preference. Let me know which way you like it! You may solve the “discussion” that my husband and I continue to have on this!!! LOL!
