Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Line the baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides.
  3. Spread the chopped pecans in a single layer on top of the parchment paper.
  4. Add butter, sugar, and salt to a heavy-bottomed 3-quart pot.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-low heat.
  6. Stir frequently to dissolve the sugar completely.
  7. Once the candy is boiling, stir occasionally, slowly, and evenly.
  8. Continue cooking until the candy reaches 290°F to 300°F on a candy thermometer.
  9. Remove the pot from the heat once the temperature is reached.
  10. Gently stir in the vanilla extract.
  11. Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture over the chopped pecans in the prepared dish.
  12. Let the candy sit undisturbed for a few minutes.
  13. Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips evenly over the top of the toffee.
  14. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  15. Let the covered dish sit for 5 minutes, or until the chocolate has softened.
  16. Remove the foil.
  17. Gently spread the softened chocolate into an even layer using an offset spatula.
  18. Place the candy in the refrigerator.
  19. Let it cool completely for at least 2 hours.
  20. Lift the parchment paper out of the baking dish.
  21. Place the toffee on a cutting board or solid surface.
  22. Use a knife to gently break the toffee into smaller pieces.
  23. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.

Notes

Use a heavy-bottomed pot for even heat distribution.
A candy thermometer is essential for accurate temperature and texture.
Do not stir vigorously once the mixture is boiling to prevent crystallization.
Ensure the toffee cools completely for at least 2 hours for a perfect snap.
