Servings: 1 1/4 pounds |
Comments: Buttery toffee candy is an easy-to-make treat that will become a family favorite. |
Ingredients: 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup butter 1 (6-ounce) package (1 cup) semi-sweet real chocolate chips 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans, almonds or walnuts |
Instructions: Combine sugar and butter in heavy 2-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until candy thermometer reaches 300°F or small amount of mixture dropped into ice water forms brittle strands (25 to 30 minutes). Quickly spread into 15x10x1-inch jelly-roll pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot candy; let stand 5 minutes. Spread melted chocolate evenly over candy; sprinkle with pecans. Cool completely; break into pieces. TIP: Stir occasionally and gently with a wooden spoon until mixture reaches 260 to 265°F (127 to 130°C). Continue cooking, stirring as few times as possible, until mixture reaches 300°F (149°C). Stirring too much contributes to toffee separating. It is important to keep the mixture from burning, so stir gently once in a while. TIP: Store butter toffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate. |
