Instructions

Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the Candy Mixture: In a medium heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat, combine butter and sugar. Stir consistently until the mixture reaches 285°F and turns dark amber (about 35-45 minutes).
Pour and Spread: Carefully pour the hot candy mixture onto the lined baking sheet. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and let them soften for 1-2 minutes before spreading into an even layer.
Add Pecans: Sprinkle chopped pecans over the melted chocolate and gently press them in.
Cool and Break Apart: Allow to cool for about 1 hour until fully set, then break into pieces.
