English Toffee

Christmas means candy making and when you make toffee, it will make you everyone’s favorite! What's so great about toffee? Well, it's rich and buttery with just the right snap and then finished with chocolate and toasted pecans. I make many batches around Christmas because it seems to disappear. Now you can too!

------------------------------

INGREDIENTS

- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp corn syrup
- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

Butter a 9×13 baking sheet pan. Set aside.

Have an instant-read thermometer ready or fit saucepan with a candy thermometer.

In a heavy-bottom four-quart saucepan, combine butter, sugar, salt, and corn syrup. Over low heat, bring to a boil, stirring slowly. Continue to boil until the mixture reached 290°F. It will be a light amber color and smell like caramel and butterscotch.

Remove from heat, add in vanilla, and pour into the prepared baking sheet pan. Let cool for one minute and sprinkle with ¼ cup chopped nuts over the entire mixture. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let sit until melted, about two minutes. Spread the chocolate evenly with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with remaining chopped nuts. Let cool completely, about four hours.

Once cooled completely, break into desired pieces. Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to one month. If in a warm climate, store in the refrigerator.

I made this about an hour ago, I was sure I had done something wrong when I was making the toffee. The temperature just hung around 240 degree F and would not move. I resisted turning the heat up or just giving up, your instructions covered all this so I continued to stir. When the temp change happened, it happened quickly. This is so delicious, I couldn't believe the rich toffee taste. Thank you so much for the wonderful, detailed instructions you give. I will be making this again, the next batch will be for gifts.

My mom always made toffee. She would break it in small pieces and dip each piece in chocolate (your way is way less time consuming!).anyway, years ago I asked for the recipe and failed my first couple of batches. In my directions, it says, “If it starts to separate, don’t panic, just keep stirring and it will come back together” and it does. But if adding corn syrup helps, that’s what I’m doing next. I haven’t made it in awhile, but it’s definitely a favorite!! BTW, I made my third batch of Butterhorns since thanksgiving, took them to work, and the staff RAVED about them. I’m a nurse and it’s nice to have special treats during this crazy time. I’ll have to try the toffee for them next. Thanks for all you do!!
