Scale
Toffee Base
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/4 cup Light Corn Syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Pecans
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
Chocolate Topping
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brittle once it’s set.
- Cook the Toffee Mixture: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine granulated sugar, unsalted butter, light corn syrup, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil, then stop stirring and let it cook until it reaches a golden amber color.
- Add Pecans: Once the toffee reaches the desired color, quickly stir in the pecans. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring in between until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the toffee mixture and spread it evenly.
- Let It Set: Allow the Chocolate Toffee Pecan Brittle to cool completely at room temperature, or place it in the fridge for quicker setting. Once set, break it into pieces and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a Candy Thermometer to monitor the temperature of the toffee.
- Work quickly when adding the pecans and chocolate to prevent hardening.
- Ensure the brittle is fully cooled before breaking it into pieces for clean edges.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain its crunch.
- Experiment with toppings like sea salt or drizzled chocolate for a gourmet touch.
