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.
