Chocolate Pecan Toffee - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 sticks (1/2 lb.) lightly salted sweet cream Land O Lakes butter
1 c. \"C & H\" brand white granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. Karo light corn syrup
2 Tbsp. water
24 oz. Hershey's milk chocolate
16 oz. ground pecans

Preparation

In a 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over lowest possible heat. Remove from heat and add sugar; stir until well blended.
Return to low heat and stir rapidly and thoroughly with a rubber scraper and continuously scrape the side and bottom of pot until the mixture reaches a full boil.
When the mixture reaches a full boil, add the corn syrup and water and mix well.
Cover the pan for a few minutes to allow steam to dissolve any sugar crystals which may have formed on the side of the pan.
Remove cover and, with a pastry brush dipped in just a little bit of water, wash down the sides of the pan to remove any crystals that may still be there.
