For giving or just for eating
This time of year I like to have something sweet around at all times and since P has to leave the house every once in awhile, I resort to homemade toffee. I make about 150 batches of this before the holidays are over and while yes, that is a slight exaggeration, I do make it for the mailman, the garbage men, neighbors and pretty much anyone else that I come within a five mile radius of during the Christmas season.
It’s easy, it’s heaven on a plate (or in a gift bag), it’s TOFFEE. And by the way, this recipe also came from Gulley, so as y’all can see, she has cornered the cookie/candy market.
Toffee
1 c. chopped pecans
1 c. sugar
1 c. butter
1/4 c. water
12 oz. chocolate chips
Line a 9×13 pan with foil, butter the foil. Spread pecans on the foil. Mix sugar, water and butter in a skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until caramel colored. Pour over pecans. Spread chocolate chips over mixture. Wait until it cools and break into pieces. Eat until you make yourself sick.
You’re welcome.
