Ingredients
unsalted butter
granulated sugar
water
vanilla extract
semisweet chocolate chips
chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line a 15×10-inch jelly-roll pan with aluminum foil; grease thoroughly.
- Place butter in prepared pan and bake until melted.
- Remove pan; stir sugar and water into melted butter. Return to oven and bake 12–15 minutes, stirring once halfway, until bubbly and golden brown.

Notes
Store cooled toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Layer pieces between parchment paper to prevent sticking and maintain crispness.
