It’s a delicious combination of crunchy, buttery toffee-like brittle with freshly toasted pecans and a smooth coating of milk chocolate.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of white sugar
  • 1 cup of light corn syrup
  • 1 cup of water
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of butter (salted or unsalted)
  • 2 cups of pecans, chopped
  • 2 cups of milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Begin by combining the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 8-10 minutes or until a candy thermometer reads 300°F (hard crack stage). Immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla, butter and chopped pecans. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Allow the brittle to cool and harden. Once cooled, break the brittle into pieces.

Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Dip half of the cooled brittle pieces into the melted chocolate. Place the dipped pieces on wax paper and allow the chocolate to set. Once set, enjoy the delicious Chocolate Covered Pecan Brittle!
