Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Espresso Pecan Toffee
  1. Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the toffee from sticking. Gather a medium saucepan and a wooden spoon.
  2. In the medium saucepan, combine unsalted butter and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly for about 20-30 minutes, until the mixture begins to bubble and turns a rich golden color, aiming for 300ºF.
  3. Remove the saucepan from heat, and stir in the espresso powder and molasses until well combined. Then fold in the pecans evenly.
  4. Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into a 1/4-inch thick layer with a spatula or spoon.
  5. Sprinkle chocolate chips generously over the hot toffee layer and let them soften for about 5 minutes, then spread the melted chocolate evenly.
  6. Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature for about 1-2 hours before breaking it into bite-sized pieces.
