Chocolate Toffee

[Stan R]

I have been making this candy for over 18 years and have won ribbons at the TEXAS State Fair and the Colorado State Fair.

Chocolate Toffee

¼ cup corn syrup
1 stick of no salt butter
3 sticks of margarine
2 cups of sugar

2 cup of pecans
1 cup of chocolate chips
¼ of pecans sprinkles

heat sugar, butter, margarine, syrup in large pan until it reaches 290 degrees add pecans and reheat to 290

you have to stir all the time with a long handle wood spoon and you need a good candy thermometer ….pour on 2 large no stick cookie sheets and spread as thin as possible.

Top with the chocolate chips and after they are melted spread evenly over the top

Top with pecan sprinkles

Put in refrigerator to set and keep candy in there is stays better

Enjoy

i have actually been looking for a good toffee recipe.. ill have to try this out tomorrow!

[Stan R]

Let me know how it works out.... when you pour it in the pan work it as thin as you can with the back side of a long spoon... IN fact you have to sitr with a wooden spoon as it gets pretty thick.

ttt
Any pics of this being made?

sounds like you put the chocolate chips over the hot candy and wait for them to melt? Could you melt them and then pour it over the candy?

I put the chocolate chips over the hot candy and wait a few minutes to spread the chocolate. You could melt in a pan but this adds a step that is not necessary.

This is good stuff and wonderful for the holidays!

I do not have pictures but plan on making a patch soon and will post some pics.

That looks perfect.... I can tell by the color of the toffee. Darker means heated to much.... lighter means not heated enough.
