Microwave Toffee
- 1 cup chopped pecans or toasted almonds
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 stick of regular salted butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- Sprinkle your chopped nuts over either a silicone pad or a 12 inch piece of Release aluminum foil. (This foil is great to use!)
- Sprinkle the nuts in a circle about 10 inches length, keeping the nut pieces close together. You can also use a 9 inch pan, well-buttered!
- In a microwave-proof glass bowl, add the water, butter and sugar.
- Cook on high for seven minutes.
- Do not stop and stir your mixture. Just let it cook!
- If the mixture in the bowl is not a caramel'ish, lightly brown color, cook for one minute more.
- Remove bowl from microwave and pour the sugar mixture directly over the nuts.
- Using a rubber spatula, push the nuts on the sides into the edges of the mixture before it cools so that you don't waste nuts that are not attached to the candy.
- Quickly sprinkle your chocolate chips over the top of the candy and let it melt there for about 2 minutes.
- Spread the melting chips over the top of your toffee.
- I like to sprinkle this with extra nuts.
- Let the toffee cool completely.
- Break into pieces and serve!
