Butter
Toffee
Submitted by: SueW |
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter |
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans |
Combine sugar and butter in heavy 2-quart saucepan. Cook over
low-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, about 25-30
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.
Tips: Stir occasionally and gently with a wooden spoon
until mixture reaches 260 to 265°F. Continue cooking, stirring
as few times as possible, until mixture reaches 300°F. Stirring
too much makes toffee separate. Store butter toffee in an
airtight container in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate. |
