Steps:
- In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.
- While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Steps:
- In a medium sized heavy bottomed saucepan, combine butter, margarine, sugars and water. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until butter melts and mixture starts to simmer. Stop stirring. Add candy thermometer with bulb tip well into mixture but not touching bottom of pot. Continue cooking, without stirring, until candy thermometer reads 305 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from heat and quickly stir in baking soda, then nuts. Don't stir too long or toffee will turn cloudy and crumble when cool. Immediately transfer to large baking sheet that has been sprayed with vegetable oil cooking spay. Seperate nuts with two forks. At this point, some of the pecans may not have enough toffee covering them. After all nuts have been seperated, the toffee should be cool enough to handle but still warm enough to be pliable. Using your fingers and a fork, wrap extra toffee around any uncoated nuts. Can be stored in an airtight container when completely cool. These can be enjoyed as a snack or crushed and used as a topping for ice cream, bread pudding, cheesecake, pumpkin or sweet potato pie. Also great stirred into your favorite chocolate fudge recipe!
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
- Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking.
- Do not overmix the dough, as this will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, as overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them.
- For the frosting, use a high-quality chocolate that you enjoy.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the toffee by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the toffee forms a hard ball, it is ready.
- Be careful when working with hot toffee, as it can cause burns.
- Let the toffee cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
Conclusion:
Pecan toffee is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its buttery shortbread crust, creamy chocolate frosting, and crunchy pecan toffee topping, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
