Yield Makes about 1 1/2 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup (about 5 ounces) coarsely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Line 9-inch square baking pan with foil, overlapping sides. Butter foil. Melt 1 cup butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and cream of tartar and stir until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high. Brush down sides of pan with wet pastry brush. Cook until mixture registers 310°F. on candy thermometer, stirring occasionally, about 11 minutes.

Spread chocolate with back of spoon over toffee until melted and spoon over toffee until melted and smooth. Sprinkle with pecans. Refrigerate until firm. Remove toffee from pan, using foil as aid. Break into 3-inch pieces. (Can be prepared 4 days ahead. Chill in airtight container.)
