Toffee

By tinar23

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons plus 2 cups butter, divided
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1-1/2 cups finely chopped pecans

Preparation

Step 1

Grease a 15x10x1-in. pan with 2 teaspoons butter; set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, melt the remaining butter. Add sugar and water; cook and stir over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage).
Quickly pour into prepared pan. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips. Allow chips to soften for a few minutes, then spread over toffee. Sprinkle with pecans. Let stand until set, about 1 hour. Break into bite-size pieces. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 2-1/2 pounds.
