Description
A delicious recipe for salted butter toffee topped with chocolate and pecans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons purified water
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ cups milk chocolate chips
- chopped pecans
Instructions
- Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, over medium-low heat, add the butter, granulated sugar, water, vanilla extract, and salt. Let it cook for a few minutes, while stirring occasionally, until the butter has completely melted.
- Once the butter is melted, increase the heat to medium-high and continue cooking, while stirring continuously. Cook and stir until the color turns to amber and the temperature reaches 300℉ (use a candy thermometer to check it). Do not allow the bottom to burn! It’s important to continuously stir it to avoid this.
- Once it reaches temperature, remove it from the heat and immediately pour the toffee mixture into the prepared baking pan. Carefully spread it into the corners and make sure it’s in an even layer. Let it sit for 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips on top of the toffee. Allow the chocolate chips to sit and melt for 3 minutes, and then use an icing spatula or other spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans over top the chocolate.
- Place the pan in the fridge and allow it to chill for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once completely cooled, break it into pieces, serve & enjoy!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips.
- Watch closely while cooking toffee, as it can burn quickly.
