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
Directions:
- Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
- Spread the chopped pecans in a single layer on top of the parchment.
- In a heavy-bottomed 3-quart pot, combine butter, sugar, and salt.
- Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the mixture is boiling, stir occasionally until the candy reaches 290°F to 300°F (the “hard crack” stage) on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat and gently stir in the vanilla extract.
- Carefully pour the mixture over the chopped pecans in the prepared baking dish.
- Let the toffee sit undisturbed for a few minutes before sprinkling the chocolate chips on top.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and let sit for 5 minutes or until the chocolate has softened.
- Remove the foil and spread the softened chocolate into an even layer using an offset spatula.
- Place the toffee in the refrigerator and let it cool completely for at least 2 hours.
- Once cooled, lift the parchment out of the baking dish and place the toffee on a cutting board.
- Use a knife to gently break the toffee into smaller pieces.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
