Yummy Pecan Toffee

It is officially Fall, whether it feels like it or not! I know here is Florida we are still experiencing the wonderful heat, but it is slowly starting to cool down! One of the favorite recipes to make during the holiday season is a really yummy pecan toffee. It is the perfect little recipe to share with everyone! You can break it up into pieces and put them in the cute little take-out boxes to give as gifts! Now that is if you don't eat it all! I posted this to my other blog (Welcome to Kym's Kitchen) a while back and thought that I would go ahead and share it with you again!

Add anything you want, like almond instead of pecans. I added some Heath bar bits to it. If you try something new, let me know because I would love to try it too! Oh and there is not a picture for this recipe because the toffee didn't last long enough to take one! We all ate it up quick!


Happy Fall Y'all!
