Ingredients
1cupSalted butter
1cupGraduated sugar
¼cupWater
½cupPecans, Chopped
¾cupSemi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Prepare a 10 X 15 inch baking sheet with non-stick baking spray. You could also cover it with parchment paper.
Place a heavy pot on the stove, and spray it with the non-stick baking spray to prevent the sugar mixture from sticking.
Sprinkle the baking pan with chocolate chips and chopped pecans.
Spread both the chocolate chips and pecans evenly on the pan so you receive the crunch factor with every bite.
Add the butter to the heavy pot.
Blend the melted butter, water, and sugar together.
Heat it on medium heat.
Put the lid on the pot to allow the ingredients to start to boil.
Allow to boil for 2 minutes so the sugar dissolves into the butter but doesn't burn.
Take the lid off to gently stir the toffee to prevent it from sticking to the bottom and ensure it blends well together.
Return the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally. (It will begin to thicken and turn to a dark caramel color.
The candy should be 275 degrees. Immediately remove from the heat.
Pour this over the chocolate chips and chopped pecans. Spread to cover all of the chocolate chips and pecans.
Set the toffee aside and allow it to completely cool.
Use your hands to break the toffee into pieces.
Store the left overs in an airtight container in a dry place.
