To make the crust:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 13” x 9” baking pan with cooking spray.

3. Press mixture into bottom of prepared pan.
4. Bake for 12—14 minutes or until golden. Cool in pan on a wire rack.

To make the toffee:

1. In a saucepan, combine butter, Splenda Brown Sugar Blend, corn syrup, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sweetener dissolves.
2. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook until a candy thermometer reaches 265°F (about 10 minutes). Pour mixture over crust and spread evenly. Bake 10 additional minutes. Cool 5 minutes on a wire rack.

To make the topping:

1. In the top of a double boiler, combine chocolate squares and Splenda Brown Sugar Blend. Heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Drizzle or spread over toffee. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
