Ingredients
1/2 c margarine
1/2 c butter
1 1/3 c sugar
1 tbs white syrup
3 tbs water
1 c pecans chopped
12 oz bag chocolate chips
Directions for crunchy butter toffee
Melt butter and margarine in medium saucepan. Add sugar, white syrup and water.
Cook to hard crack, about 300 degrees, stir occasionally. Hard crack is achieved by dropping a few drops of candy into cold water. When the candy ball is hard, the candy is done.
Once butter toffee is cooked, add the nuts.
Spread butter toffee mixture into a well greased 9x13" pan or large cookie sheet with sides.
Allow it to cool.
Turn candy out onto waxed paper when it's stiff but before it's cold.
Melt chocolate and spread or drizzle over toffee.
Once the toffee is cold, break it into pieces and enjoy!
