Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, plus more for pan
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp corn syrup
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 8 oz tempered chocolate (about 2 cups)
- 1 1/2 cup finely chopped salted pecans
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar, corn syrup, water and salt and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the mixture reaches 295°F on an instant-read thermometer. Stir in baking soda and continue to cook, stirring, until candy reaches 310°F.
- Remove from heat, pour onto prepared sheet and quickly spread toffee into an even layer. Let cool completely.
- If the surface is oily, use a paper towel to blot it away. Spread one side with half the tempered chocolate and half the chopped pecans. Wait 10 minutes for the chocolate to set, then flip the toffee. Blot the surface with a paper towel, then repeat spreading it with remaining tempered chocolate and pecans.
- Let sit a few hours for the chocolate to continue to crystallize and harden. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
