Better Than Anything Toffee Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Prepare a 9-inch square baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray and lining it with parchment paper.
2. Evenly spread the chopped pecans on top of the parchment paper.
3. In a heavy-bottomed 3-quart pot, combine the butter, sugar, and salt.
4. Over medium-low heat, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently until the sugar is fully dissolved.
5. Once boiling, stir occasionally until the mixture reaches a temperature of 290°F to 300°F, or until it reaches the “hard crack” stage on a candy thermometer.
6. Remove the pot from heat and gently stir in the vanilla extract.
7. Carefully pour the mixture over the chopped pecans in the baking dish.
8. Allow the candy to sit undisturbed for a few minutes before sprinkling the chocolate chips evenly over the top.
9. Cover the baking dish with foil and let it sit for 5 minutes or until the chocolate has softened.
10. Remove the foil and gently spread the softened chocolate into an even layer using an offset spatula.
11. Place the candy in the refrigerator and let it cool completely for at least 2 hours.
12. Once cooled, lift the parchment paper out of the baking dish and transfer the toffee onto a cutting board or solid surface.
13. Use a knife to break the toffee into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
14. Store the toffee in an airtight container in a cool place for freshness.
