Ingredients
  

For the Toffee Base

  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Essential for sweetness and texture.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, extending slightly beyond the edges for easy lifting.
  2. Combine Butter and Sugar: In a medium saucepan, mix unsalted butter and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir for 5-7 minutes until bubbly and glossy, then cook until reaching 300ºF (hard crack stage), about 20-30 minutes.
  3. Incorporate Espresso and Pecans: Remove from heat and stir in espresso powder and molasses. Fold in pecans until coated.
  4. Spread the Toffee Mixture: Pour hot toffee onto the baking sheet, spreading evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  5. Add the Chocolate Topping: Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Allow to soften, then spread into an even layer.
  6. Cool and Break Into Pieces: Let cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours until hardened, then break into pieces.
