English Toffee

While working at the Utah Capitol, my co-worker Katie brought these in and truly won us over.

ENGLISH TOFFEE

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3 hershey bars
1 ½ cup pecans
½ cup chopped pecans

1. Arrange the 1 ½ cup whole pecans in a circle on a cookie sheet

2. Heat the butter and sugar over a medium heat, stirring slowly until you have reached a hard candy stage. (310 degrees? look at your candy thermometer)

3. Immediately pour this butter/sugar mixture over the pecans.

4. Place Hershey bars on top and spread with a butter knife until they melt and toffee is coated in chocolate.

5. Sprinkle top with chopped pecans.

6. When cooled, cut by pushing the tip of a butter knife into the areas of the toffee and twisting.
