Easy Microwave Toffee
If you are looking for a quick, easy snack to fix, look no further. This is
a microwave toffee recipe that takes just a few minutes and tastes great!
You'll need:
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 t. salt
1/2 cup butter or margarine (1 stick)
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 buttered baking sheet OR an Exopat
Mat (no additional butter required,
just lay it on your baking sheet)
|
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the chopped pecans in a 9" circle on your Exopat mat or on a buttered baking sheet.
|
|
Butter the top edges of a 2 qt. microwave safe casserole and put in the butter, salt, sugar and water. DO NOT STIR. Put the dish in the microwave on high for 6 to 8 minutes. Check it after 7 minutes. Continue cooking a minute at a time until the mixture just begins to turn tan. You need to watch it here and remember, DON'T STIR. |
|
Pour the mixture over the top of your pecans.
|

|
|
Immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet morsels on top and let them sit for 1 minute.
|
|
After 1 minute use a spatula to spread the morsels out.
|
|
Sprinkle the remaining pecans over the top and pop the sheet into the refrigerator to cool completely.

| When the toffee is cooled, simply
break it into bite sized pieces -- it won't stick!
|
After I had the toffee off the mat and on a
plate it took me just a few seconds with a soapy sponge to clean, rinse
and dry my Exopat mat -- I hid the toffee from the guys in my family so
I'd have some left for guests. |
This toffee can be put into a resealable bag and frozen for up to a month. It makes a great gift for a new neighbor and it is sure to please your family as well. Enjoy! |
