Also known as "that time you made caramels, only for them to harden into an 8x8x 1/2" sheet of toffee".
Yes, that happened last week.
I made caramels, but somehow between the overcast weather and the candy thermometer, the caramels hardened too much.
My parents and brother agreed it still tasted ok, but couldn't be marketed as caramels. As soon as Mom called it "toffee" I knew what I had to do.
Cover it in melted chocolate and chopped pecans.
To make it more edible.
Start out with this recipe.
Then chop it up into 1/4 to 1/2" pieces. Lay it single layer on a piece of parchment paper, on a cookie sheet.
Melt 1 bag of chocolate chips in a sauce pan and pour over the toffee.
Sprinkle 1/2 to 1 cup of chopped pecans* on top of the chocolate.
Let the chocolate cool and harden, and then break the toffee into bite-sized pieces.
*Make sure to chop the pecans before you start melting the chocolate, because the chocolate needs to be stirred and monitored so it doesn't burn!
