DARK CHOCOLATE PISTACHIO TOFFEE image

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup shelled unsalted pistachios (i like to use some salted some unsalted)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 sticks unsalted butter
1 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios

Steps:

1. Line a baking sheet with foil or Silpat, sprinkle the pistachios in a single layer over the baking sheet to cover an area of approximately 9x12 2. In a heavy saucepan or copper pan combine butter, sugar and salt. Cover over high heat stirring constantly until the candy reaches 300 degrees F. (hard crack stage) this step takes between 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and quick pour candy over the pistachios: allow to cool completely. 3. Melt chocolate in the microwave oven in intervals of 40 seconds at 50% power and stirring in-between until chocolate is soft enough to spread. Spread chocolate mixture over cooled toffee and sprinkle with the finely chopped pistachios. Allow chocolate to cool completely before breaking toffee into bite size pieces.
