1. Line a half sheet pan or 9X13-inch pan (for thicker toffee) with parchment paper - no need to butter or grease the parchment. Sprinkle chopped nuts in an even layer over the parchment. Set aside. (I like nuts on the bottom of the toffee, but you can skip this step and sprinkle nuts on top of the toffee after the chocolate melts.)
2. In a heavy-bottom 4-quart saucepan on medium-low heat, add the butter, sugar and salt. Cook, stirring, until the butter is melted. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pot, if using.
3. Increase heat to medium, and bring the mixture to a steady boil. Stir only occasionally (not constantly) and avoid scraping down the sides of the pan. Stirring too quickly or too often can cause the toffee to separate. Moderate the heat as needed - turn it down if the toffee is boiling or cooking too fast so it doesn't burn.
4. Cook until the toffee registers 285-290 degrees on an instant-read or candy thermometer and is deep amber brown in color, about 20-25 minutes.

English Toffee Recipes For Holidays

WEBJan 8, 2021 · Place a skillet over medium heat. Add the pecans and toast them in the hot skillet until they are fragrant and lightly browned. …

1. TOAST THE PECANS: Place a skillet over medium heat. Add the pecans and toast them in the skillet until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove the pecans to a paper towel or cutting board to cool.
2. Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper. Sprinkle half of the toasted nuts evenly on top of the parchment paper.
3. MAKE THE TOFFEE:Spray a heavy, light-colored saucepan with nonstick spray. This is a crucial step because it will help to prevent boiling syrup from flowing over the pan. Combine butter, sugar, water, corn syrup and salt in the pan and heat over medium temperature. It's important to use a light-colored pan so you can more easily observe the color of the toffee as it's cooking. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan so it's touching the ingredients but not the bottom of the pan.
4. Cook to the "hard crack" stage (295 to 300 degrees F), whisking constantly and watching closely. This should take 15 to 20 minutes. Don't rush the process. Low and slow is good. Syrup that does not reach temperature will be chewy instead of crunchy. And if you try to cook it more quickly, you'll end up with the butter separating from the sugar.
