Pecan English Toffee
Toffee is a candy originating in England. This recipe gives the toffee a texture that is brittle at first and then quickly becomes chewy as it melts in your mouth. The best part is it is quick and easy to make. It is the perfect holiday treat!
Equipment
- Candy Thermometer
- Wooden Spoon
- Pot
- Pot Holders
- Cookie Sheet
- Pizza Cutter
- Measuring Spoons
- Measuring Cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ lb salted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 cup pecans finely chopped
Instructions
- Combine sugar, butter, vanilla and water in a pot.
- Cook over medium to medium/high heat stirring constantly until candy reaches 290 degrees.
- Remove from heat and pour onto buttered pan or cookie sheet.
- Immediately sprinkle with pecans before the candy cools.
- As the candy starts to cool take a pizza cutter to gently cut in “cracking points” in the soft toffee. These lines make it easier to break or cut the toffee into perfect squares after it has cooled.
- Set aside and let cool... usually about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Once cooled, break the toffee along the "cracking points"... and enjoy!
