Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (, cut into pieces)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt (, or 1/2 teaspoon salt)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips ((milk chocolate or semi-sweet))
  • 2-4 Tablespoons chopped pecans (, or almonds)

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep. Butter or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Melt butter and sugar. In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, 2 Tablespoons water, and 1 teaspoon salt over medium-low heat. Stir frequently with a wooden spoon until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Leave the spoon in the pot and clip on a candy thermometer, if desired, being careful to not let it touch the bottom.

  3. 3

    Stir. Stirring only occasionally, simmer until the caramel is a deep amber color and the thermometer reads 285°-290°F (takes about 20 minutes). Immediately remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla.

  4. 4

    Pour into pan. Pour onto the baking sheet and let it spread. Cool 5 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 cup chocolate chips and let sit 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Spread chocolate and add nuts. Spread the melted chocolate with an offset spatula and sprinkle with 2-4 Tablespoons pecans.

  6. 6

    Cool. Cool completely before breaking into pieces. Enjoy!
