Marny’s Butter Toffee
Cookies and Candy
Marny
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup butter
- 1 pkg (12 oz) chocolate chips
- 1½ cups chopped pecans
Method
Mix sugar, salt, water and butter in a medium size saucepan. Cook without stirring to the light crack stage (285º). Spread the toffee out on a well greased cookie sheet. Cool. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler.
Spread half of the chocolate of top of the toffee and sprinkle immediately with ¾ cup of the pecans. Cool, but do not refrigerate. Turn the toffee over. Lift a corner carefully with a spatula; the entire piece will come off of the cookie sheet. Spread with the remaining chocolate. Sprinkle with nuts.
Refrigerate until firm. Break into pieces.
