Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Espresso Pecan Toffee
  1. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine unsalted butter and granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring continuously for about 5 minutes.
  3. Once the mixture bubbles, reduce heat to maintain a steady simmer for 20-30 minutes until reaching a golden caramel color.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in espresso powder and molasses until blended, then fold in pecans.
  5. Pour the hot toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it to about a 1/4-inch thickness.
  6. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee and let sit for 5 minutes to soften, then spread the melted chocolate.
  7. Allow to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours or until hardened, then break into pieces.
