HERSHEY BAR PECAN ROCA

Steps:

• Spread the chopped pecans in a rimmed baking sheet, pulling them away from the edges, since the recipe does not make enough to cover the pan.
• In a large heavy pot, melt butter and sugar together, stirring regularly with a wooden spoon. Mixture will begin to bubble. Continue to cook, stirring regularly, until the mixture turns to an amber color.
• Carefully pour hot mixture over the pecans in a thin stream, making sure to cover all of the nuts. While the mixture is still hot, place the unwrapped chocolate bars on top. As they melt, spread the chocolate over the pecans and hot sugar.
• Place tray in the fridge to cool. Once cool, they can be broken up into chunks. These do not need to be refrigerated. This recipe freezes well.

PAN-BANGING PECAN SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with foil.
• Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
• Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Beat on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar and beat on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg and beat until combined.
• With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients. Beat on low until just combined. Add the chopped chocolate toffee bars and pecans and stir to combine.
• Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to scoop leveled mounds of cookie dough evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheets. Roll each mound into a ball. Transfer 1 baking sheet to the freezer and freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer the frozen baking sheet to the oven (meanwhile, transfer the second baking sheet to the freezer) and bake until the edges have melted and the center is still domed, about 10 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven and bang it firmly on a work surface until a small ripple forms around the outer edge. Return it to the oven and bake until the center puffs up, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven and bang it again firmly on a work surface until the edges are rippled and golden brown and the center is soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining baking sheets, freezing the third baking sheet for 20 minutes while the second baking sheet is in the oven.

4 INGREDIENT TOFFEE

Steps:

• Heat sugar, butter and water to boiling in heavy 2-quart saucepan, stirring constantly; reduce heat to medium. Cook about 13 minutes, stirring constantly, to 300°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water separates into hard, brittle threads. (Watch carefully so mixture does not burn.)
• Immediately pour toffee onto ungreased large cookie sheet. If necessary, quickly spread mixture to 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle with chocolate chips; let stand about 1 minute or until chips are completely softened. Spread softened chocolate evenly over toffee. Sprinkle with pecans.
• Let stand at room temperature about 1 hour, or refrigerate if desired, until firm. Break into bite-size pieces. Store in airtight container.
