One of my favorite gifts to make at the holidays is Toffee. It is easy to make, and people LOVE it! Here’s an easy recipe:
Toffee
1 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Toffee
1 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1. Place butter and sugar in a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
2. Once the butter begins to melt, stir constantly, until the mixture is the color of a brown paper bag. You really do have to stand at the stove the whole time once it starts bubbling. This stuff is hot, so stir carefully.
3. As soon as it’s the color of a brown paper bag, pour it onto a baking sheet and spread it around evenly. Immediately sprinkle on chocolate chips. They’ll start to melt immediately.
4. Using a knife or spatula, evenly spread melted chocolate chips.
5. Sprinkle chopped pecans over melted chocolate. Chill.
6. When it’s hardened, break into pieces. This recipe makes four gift bag sized servings.
I guarantee your friends will thank you!

Ummm Yummm!
ReplyDeleteFound you on Kim's blog-you have some cuteness girl!
I don't know what I did wrong. Medium heat, constant stirring, separated and congealed before it turned brown???
ReplyDeleteAnonymous~ sorry it didn't work for you. I had that happen once to me when I used frozen butter. The rest of the time, it's been perfect. Did you use frozen butter?
ReplyDeleteThat looks divine!!! Good stuff and it appears fool proof. Thanks for the lesson. :)
ReplyDeleteDid you use real butter or margarine? Mine did the same at anonymous' did. I used real butter that had not been frozen. :( Bummer! Any other pointers?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Thanks for the recipe! it tasted great! I made it 2 times with no luck on the butter, not frozen (unless it was at the market) however it was salted butter, does it make a difference in color? Still placed it in bags and just delivered to neighbors got great comments!
