Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside.
- In a heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Stir continuously until mixture begins to boil.
- Continue stirring gently as it boils for about 10–12 minutes, until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) or a deep amber color. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Immediately pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let sit for 2 minutes, then spread chocolate evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans on top of the melted chocolate and gently press them in.
- Allow to cool completely for at least 1 hour. Once hardened, break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- This toffee can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- You can substitute walnuts for pecans if preferred.
- Be careful when melting sugar, as it can get very hot.
