    Toffee: Pecan Roca Candy


    Source of Recipe


    internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup chopped pecans or almonds
    3/4 cup packed brown sugar
    1/2 cup butter
    1/2 cup semisweet chocolate

    Recipe



    Toffee: Butter square pan, 9x9x2 inches. Spread chopped nuts in pan. Heat sugar and butter to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, 7 minutes (watch it real close the last minute or two). Immediately spread mixture evenly over nuts in pan. Sprinkle chocolate pieces over hot mixture; place a baking sheet over pan so contained heat will melt chocolate. Spread melted chocolate over candy.

    While hot, cut into 1 1/2 inch squares. Chill until firm. When we are going to be giving this as a gift, we melt another 1/2 cup of chocolate in the microwave. Use an 7x7x2 pan (or smaller than the 9x9x2). Spread the melted chocolate on top of the buttered pan that is covered with the nuts. After the chocolate is spread on top, sprinkle more nuts on top, while chocolate is still warm. Then cut into small sizes. After the candy is set, remove from the pan and wrap individually with desert foil.
