Quick and Easy Toffee



Toffee is one of my very favorite holiday candies, and since I can't get enough of it, I naturally had to come up with a vegan version that would satisfy the pickiest of holiday party-goers. This toffee is not only  delicious, but only takes about 20 minutes to make (not counting the refrigeration time), so you can whip up a batch in no time if you have unexpected dinner guests!

What You'll Need:

  • 2 cups finely chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 packed vegan brown sugar
  • 1 cup stick vegan margarine
  • 1 12 oz. bag vegan semisweet chocolate chips
What to Do:

Grease the bottom and sides of a large cake pan (9x13 is perfect) with cooking spray. Spread the pecans evenly in the greased pan and coat the bottom. Heat the brown sugar and margarine to boiling in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 7 minutes, continuing to stir constantly. Immediately spread the hot mixture over the pecans in the pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot mixture and let them melt (this will happen faster if you put a cookie sheet on top of the pan to trap the heat). Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate over the candy, coating the pan evenly.  Let set for 10 minutes. Cut the toffee into 1-2 inch squares while still warm, and then refrigerate uncovered for two hours, or until firm. Yummy!
