Better Than Anything Toffee

Print Recipe

A classic homemade toffee recipe featuring buttery candy with pecans and chocolate. This simple yet delicious treat requires just a few quality ingredients and is perfect for gift-giving or holiday entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the chopped pecans in a single layer on top of the parchment.
  3. Add butter, sugar, and salt to a heavy bottomed 3 quart pot.
  4. Bring to a boil over medium low heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.
  5. Once the candy is boiling, stir occasionally, slowly and evenly, until the candy has reached 290°F to 300°F, or 'hard crack' on a candy thermometer.
  6. Once the candy has reached 290°F-300°F, remove from heat and gently stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Pour the hot toffee mixture over the pecans in the prepared baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle milk chocolate chips over the hot toffee and allow to melt, then spread evenly.
  9. Allow to cool completely before cutting into pieces.

Notes

Use high quality butter for the best flavor. Other nuts such as almonds, walnuts, or pistachios can be substituted for pecans. This recipe can be easily doubled using a 10×15 jelly roll pan instead of a 9-inch square pan.
