Betty Crocker

Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups butter
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or 6 squares semi sweet chocolate
• 2 cups finely chopped pecans

Preparation

Step 1

In medium sauce pan, combine first 5 ingredients. Cook over medium heat to hard crack stage (300°), stirring constantly and watching the temperature.
Remove from heat and immediately pour onto ungreased cookie sheet. Melt chocolate in the microwave on 50% power, for about a minute or so, until mostly melted (the rest will melt when you spread over the hot toffee).
Spread melted chocolate over toffee, and sprinkle chopped nuts over candy, and gently press into chocolate. Let set 2 to 3 hours or chill 30 minutes.
Break into bite size pieces.
