Microwave Pecan Toffee image

Very easy, every day ingredients and quick. I believe the recipe said you could use pecans or almonds, but there are plenty of almond toffe recipes and besides, I like pecan toffee! I got this recipe from a cookbook, but can't remember the one. I have made this many times for work parties, christmas presents, bake sales and family. Everyone loves it!

Time 15m

Yield 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup finely chopped pecans
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 cup chocolate chips (I use semisweet but milk chocolate would work)

Steps:

  • Butter a square 9x9 or 8x8 pan.
  • Spread pecans in bottom of pan.
  • Microwave brown sugar and butter in a 1 quart microwavable bowl, uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring every minute.
  • Immediately pour over pecans, spreading evenly.
  • Sprinkle with chips.
  • When melted,(about 1-2 minutes) spread evenly.
  • For more even cutting, cut lightly into 1-1 1/2 inch squares in the pan while still soft, right after spreading the chocolate.
  • Refrigerate until hard, cut into squares along marks.
