Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
Instructions
- Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat, combine butter and sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture reaches 285°F on a candy thermometer, achieving a dark amber color (about 35-45 minutes).
- Pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes before sprinkling chocolate chips evenly on top. Spread the melted chocolate into an even layer.
- Sprinkle chopped pecans over the chocolate and gently press them down to adhere.
- Allow the toffee to set at room temperature for about one hour before breaking into pieces.
