Chocolate Covered Toffee "Heath Bars"

Ingredients

  • 1 c butter
  • 1 c sugar
  • 1/3 c brown sugar
  • 2 T water
  • 1/2 c chopped pecans
  • 2 c chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

Line a jelly roll pan with foil. Lightly grease the foil, and set aside. Melt butter, sugars, and water in a heavy sauce pan over a medium high heat. Using your candy thermometer monitor the sugar temperature. Stir constantly until it becomes a carmely brown color and the temperature reaches 300 degrees F, turn off burner and remove pan, stir in pecans (I forgot this step so I sprinkled them on top once they were covered in chocolate). Pour sugar mixture onto jelly roll pan and spread out. Wait a couple minutes as the sugar cools and the toffee begins to set. Using a pizza cutter slice toffee into desired size. Let cool completely. Once toffee is completely cooled and hard, gently break apart into individual pieces. Put chocolate into a double broiler and melt gently. Drop one piece of toffee in at a time, cover completley with chocolate, shaking excess off, and place onto parchment paper to cool completely and have the chocolate set.
