English Toffee
Toffee Ingredients
8 oz Butter
8 oz Sugar
2 oz Water
Pinch Salt
Toffee Directions
In a Saucepan under medium heat combine Butter, Sugar, Water and Salt. Cook until temperature reaches 300 degrees stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Toffee will be a light caramel color when ready.
Immediately pour into an ungreased 13 X 9 pan.
Chill in refrigerator until hard.
Chocolate Ingredients
2 oz Dark Chocolate Chips
1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 Tsp Ancho Chilli Powder
8 oz Glazed Pecans (Crushed)
Chocolate Directions
Bring a quart of water to boil and place metal mixing bowl on top to create a doubler boiler. This will help melt the chocolate without scorching it.
NOTE: The metal bowl will be VERY HOT! Use a hot pad or towel to hold it while you melt the chocolate chips.
Put the chocolate, cayenne, and vegetable oil in the mixing bowl and stir continously until smooth.
Pour chocolate over the hardened toffee, then sprinkle chopped glazed pecans on top. Push pecans into chocolate and chill until hard.
