4 Ingredient Toffee
Description
It’s a holiday candy classic! But with only 5 ingredients, this buttery toffee can be enjoyed any time of year!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup butter or margarine
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
Directions:
- Heat sugar, butter and water to boiling in heavy 2-quart saucepan, stirring constantly; reduce heat to medium. Cook about 13 minutes, stirring constantly, to 300°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water separates into hard, brittle threads. (Watch carefully so mixture does not burn.)
- Immediately pour toffee onto ungreased large cookie sheet. If necessary, quickly spread mixture to 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle with chocolate chips; let stand about 1 minute or until chips are completely softened. Spread softened chocolate evenly over toffee. Sprinkle with pecans.
- Let stand at room temperature about 1 hour, or refrigerate if desired, until firm. Break into bite-size pieces. Store in airtight container.
