English Toffee
1/2 lb butter(no substitutes)
1 1/3 cup brown sugar(packed)
pecan pieces
milk choc chips
Spread pecans on bottom of 9x13 pan, set aside. In a heavy bottom saucepan bring butter and brown sugar to a slow boil over medium heat, stir constantly(with wooden spoon, this will melt a plastic spoon*lol* I know from experience) Stir constantly for 12 minutes(this is the hardest part), then pour over pecans, spread out a bit. Sprinkle choc chips over and the heat from the toffee will melt them, as they melt spread over toffee. Allow to set a couple of hours. Break into peices with a butter knife...and hide it if you want it to last any amount of time :o) I usually buy nice tins at the dollar store and give this as gifts to neighhbors, teachers, etc. or as a cluttterfree alternative just eat it all yourself!!
