Day 50

Shari's Toffee
It is the BEST!
I made some today to take to the maintenance men here at the complex. They are so helpful and nice. When we were out of town they noticed that UPS had left a package at the door of our new apartment so they picked it up and put it inside the apartment. Then I left something silly and totally replaceable at the old apartment after we had moved out and when he found it he walked it over to me at the new apartment.


Toffee

1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Butter a square pan. Spread pecans in pan. Heat sugar and butter to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil over med heat, stirring constantly, for 7 minutes. It will start to smell like it is burning, but that is the way it is supposed to smell towards the end. Immediately spread mixture evenly over nuts in pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot mixture. Place baking sheet over pan so chocolate will melt. Spread while hot. Cut into squares and chill.
