Directions

1 Heat sugar, butter and water to boiling in heavy 2-quart saucepan, stirring constantly; reduce heat to medium. Cook about 13 minutes, stirring constantly, to 300°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water separates into hard, brittle threads. (Watch carefully so mixture does not burn.)
2 Immediately pour toffee onto ungreased large cookie sheet. If necessary, quickly spread mixture to 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle with chocolate chips; let stand about 1 minute or until chips are completely softened. Spread softened chocolate evenly over toffee. Sprinkle with pecans.
3 Let stand at room temperature about 1 hour, or refrigerate if desired, until firm. Break into bite-size pieces. Store in airtight container.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For gift giving, fill decorative tins with Toffee, separating layers with colored plastic wrap, colored tissue paper or waxed paper.

When making Toffee, a long spatula with a narrow metal blade is a good tool to have close by. You’ll use it to both spread the toffee and the melted chocolate chips quickly and easily.

love this recipe. the chocolate and nuts will not break off the toffee if you just press down on the candy with a fork till it breaks, instead of picking up the candy and bending it till it snaps.
