It's almost December!

You know you are hoping we will be mailing you one of our delicious boxes full of treats.  today, I have made toffee.  It is carmely, buttery, crunchy deliciousness.  This recipe is super easy.  

Toffee

2 cups flour

1 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 1/2 cup softened butter

1 cup chopped pecans

1 cup chocolate chips

Put flour and 1/2 cup pecans in a food processor.  Pulse until the
pecans are ground.  Add 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter.  Pulse
until thee mixture forms coarse crumbs.
spread into a well greased 9x13 pan.
Combine 1 cup butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar in a saucepan.  heat on low, stirring constantly until boiling.  Continue to stir about 5 minutes until mixture turns caramel in color.  Do not burn!  (That is not delicious!)
Pour this lovely caramel over the crust layer.
Now, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup pecans.
bake at 350 for 18 minutes.  the caramel will bubble and mix with the flour level.  resist the urge to open the door and look at it.  just trust it to do the magic.
When the time is finally up, pull from oven, and sprinkle with chocolate chips.  (We also added some butterscotch chips just for fun.)
You can spread out the chips to make a chocolate layer or even use more chips if you would like it to be really chocolatey.  I just love the caramel flavor, so I went with the less is more approach.
