To prevent seizing, stir the hot candy mixture just once, halfway through the cooking process. And be sure to use a candy thermometer for this recipe—precise temperatures are the key to successful toffee!

Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pecan halves
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 8 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp. water
- 1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
- 1/4 tsp. fine sea salt
- 1 cup milk chocolate grated
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 9×13-inch trays with silicone mats.

Add pecans to small bowl and toss with maple syrup. Arrange on prepared tray. Roast for 12-14 minutes, stirring periodically, until caramelized and fragrant. Set aside to cool.

Combine sugar, butter, water, corn syrup and salt in large, heavy-bottomed stock pot. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Brush sides of pan with wet pastry brush.

Remove from heat. Pour onto second prepared tray. Cool 5 minutes.
