4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1/2 cup butter for toffee
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar, plus 3/4 cup for toffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large fresh egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup chopped quality milk chocolate
2 tablespoons ground almonds
1 cup chopped roasted and salted pecans
