Mildred's Toffee- YUM, YUM!!


I love anything sweet, so I thought I would share this with ya'll!!

Mildred's Toffee
*makes about 1 1/2 lbs.



1 1/2 C. chopped toasted pecans, divided
1 C. sugar
1 C. butter
1 T. light corn syrup
1/4 C. water
1 C. semisweet chocolate morsels (I use more!!)

Spread 1 cup chopped peacans intoa 9-inch circle on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Bring sugar and next 3 ingredients to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook (do not stir) until mixture is golden brown and a candy thermometer registers 290 -310 degrees (about 15 minutes.) Pour sugar mixture over pecans on baking sheet. Sprinkle with morsels; let stand 30 seconds. Spread melted morsels evenly over top; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Chill 1 hour. Break into bite-size pieces. Store in an airtight container.
