English Toffee Pecan Pie

The toffee bits give this pie more intense caramel flavor.
Many little Heath bars are going to give their lives for this.

1 teaspoon Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract

Pray tell, what are milk chocolate English Toffee bits when they are at home? :)

I'm thinking that milk chocolate English Toffee bits are Heath Bars that have been smashed into crumbs. It's possible that the Hershey's Chocolate company that makes Heath Bars might also make the 'bits'.***

Unfortunately, of the Halloween candy which included Snickers Bars and Heath Bars there are only the Snickers left.

*grins* Expect this is like our French Fries which the French disclaim and you call chips? English toffee probably has another name on your side of the Atlantic.
