HEATH BARS CANDY RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix sugar, butter, and 1/2 cup nuts in a medium iron skillet and stir constantly over medium-low heat.
• Mixture will become light brown, smell caramelized, and spoon tracks will show as you stir.
• Cook until it reaches the hard crack stage when dropped in cold water (300 degrees on a candy thermometer).
• Pour mixture on a cookie sheet with sides.
• Unwrap Hershey's Bars and place on hot candy - then spread it all over as it melts a bit.
• Sprinkle with remaining pecans. Let cool completely then break into pieces.
• Store covered at room temperature.

Steps:

• Combine first three ingredients and boil, stirring constantly, until it thickens and is the color of a brown paper bag. This will take about 10-12 minutes of constant stirring. The consistency will go through about four stages in looks. Be careful not to overcook or it will taste scorched.
• Pour over a lightly greased 12 x 18 cookie sheet, spreading it as fast as you can into the pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot candy and let melt. Spread the chocolate over the candy.
• It's tricky to get it just the right color. Too light and it doesn't have the toffee consistency and flavor, too dark and it tastes burned. BE CAREFUL HANDLING CANDY WHEN HOT BECAUSE IT IS VERY, VERY HOT!
