Simple recipe for English toffee with pecans or walnuts and a chocolate topping.
Ingredients
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup salted butter
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (or any nuts of choice)
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
extra chopped nuts to sprinkle on top of the chocolate (optional)
Directions
- Grease a 9 x 9-inch cake pan. Spread the chopped walnuts evenly in the bottom of the pan. Over high heat, melt together sugar and butter in medium size saucepan until boiling. Lower heat to medium. Boil over medium heat for 7 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour into pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot mixture. Place a cookie sheet over the pan to retain the heat and melt the chocolate chips. If using, sprinkle with additional chopped nuts. Cut into 2″ squares while hot, then refrigerate until hard. Break into pieces. If you prefer uneven pieces, allow to harden in the refrigerator, remove from pan and break into random chunks.
