It's National Dessert Month and HerKentucky has teamed up with Wholly Wholesome to talk about desserts! This morning, I stopped by WTVQ in Lexington to talk about National Dessert Month and share this delicious butter pecan toffee recipe!

Butter Pecan Toffee

Ingredients:

• 1 stick butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon corn syrup
• 20 tea biscuits
• Chopped toasted pecans

Directions:
1.    Combine 1 stick butter, 3/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat.
2.    Cook, stirring occasionally, until brown (305 degrees F on a candy thermometer).
3.    Arrange 20 tea biscuits side by side on a large buttered, foil-lined baking sheet. 
4.    Pour sugar mixture on top and sprinkle with chopped toasted pecans. Chill until firm; break apart.

The folks at Wholly Wholesome sent me this recipe to try, and it is fantastic-- a great mix of salty and sweet and crunchy. Of course, it wouldn't be a recipe from the HerKentucky kitchen if we didn't work in a little Kentucky bourbon, so I made one batch with a little Old Forrester. No surprise, it was pretty tasty!
