Ingredients

Crust:

2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup unsalted butter melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling:

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
¼ cup unsalted butter melted
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons bourbon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1½ cup coarsely chopped pecans
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
½ cup toffee bits

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with foil, letting the excess extend over the sides. Lightly coat the foil with cooking spray.
Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and vanilla, stirring with a fork until the mixture is well combined and holds together when pressed. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Leave the oven on.
Make the filling: In the same large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and melted butter until smooth. Whisk in the corn syrup, eggs, bourbon, and salt until fully combined. Fold in the pecans, coconut, and toffee bits. Spread the filling evenly over the baked crust.
Bake for about 25 minutes or until the top is set, the edges are browned, and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 200°F. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least four hours or overnight.
Using the foil overhang as handles, lift the bars from the pan and cut them into squares. Store in an airtight container.
