Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Melt the butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until smooth and creamy. |
| 2 | Add sugar, salt, and vanilla: Stir in the sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until well combined. |
| 3 | Boil gently: Allow the mixture to boil gently, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature and cook until it reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit (hard crack stage). This should take several minutes. |
| 4 | Prepare the pan: While the mixture is boiling, arrange 1 cup of chopped pecans on an 8-inch square pan, ensuring they cover the bottom evenly. |
| 5 | Pour the mixture: Once the mixture reaches the desired temperature, carefully pour it over the chopped pecans in the pan, ensuring it covers them evenly. |
| 6 | Let toffee set: Allow the toffee to set for about 15 minutes, or until it is slightly firm but still very warm. |
| 7 | Add chocolate chips: Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the warm toffee and allow them to melt completely. |
| 8 | Spread chocolate: Once the chocolate chips have melted, use a spatula to gently spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee layer. |
| 9 | Arrange pecan halves: Place the pecan halves on top of the melted chocolate, arranging them however you like. |
| 10 | Cool to set: Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature until the chocolate and toffee layers are set. |
| 11 | Drizzle with white chocolate: Once the toffee has cooled, melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle them over the top of the toffee for an added decorative touch. |
| 12 | Break into chunks: Once the white chocolate has set, use a knife to break the toffee into chunks of your desired size. Serve and enjoy! |
