Experience the pinnacle of confectionery delight with Hill Country Chocolate's Milk Chocolate Pecan Butter Toffee. This gourmet delicacy is crafted by hand in small quantities in a traditional copper kettle right in the heart of Texas Hill Country, assuring superior quality and flavor.
This product is a favorite among our Texas customers!
Each piece of toffee is individually hand-cut, providing a distinctively crunchy texture that harmoniously blends with the toffee's rich, buttery essence. The toffee is fully cloaked in the finest Swiss milk chocolate imported from Felchlin Switzerland, introducing an extra layer of exquisite sweetness that will captivate your palate.
Based in Fredericksburg, Texas, the epicenter of the Texas wine region, Hill Country Chocolate is a master artisan confectioner. We are dedicated to utilizing top-tier ingredients and methods to elevate traditional and familiar flavors to an unprecedented level. Our Milk Chocolate Pecan Butter Toffee is a testament to this dedication, offering a gourmet experience that is both distinctive and deeply gratifying.
Indulge in the creamy, rich decadence of our Texas-crafted Milk Chocolate Pecan Butter Toffee and understand why Hill Country Chocolate is a cherished brand in the world of artisan confections.
We make our Milk Chocolate Pecan Butter Toffee by cooking pure butter and sugar to 300°F—the hard crack stage—stirring constantly until the mixture turns deep amber and develops that distinctive toffee flavor. While the toffee is still hot, we pour it onto sheet pans and immediately press chopped Texas pecans into the surface, then let it cool until it sets with a satisfying snap.
Once cooled, we break the toffee into bite-sized pieces and enrobe each one in tempered milk chocolate made with whole milk powder and real vanilla. The milk chocolate coating seals in the buttery crunch while adding creamy sweetness that complements the toasted pecans. We finish each piece with a light dusting of powdered sugar to prevent sticking and add a subtle sweetness that melts on your tongue.
What Makes It Special
Hill Country Chocolate's toffee stands apart because we use European-style butter —higher than standard American butter—which creates a richer, more luxurious texture and deeper caramel notes. Our pecans come from Texas groves within 100 miles of our Fredericksburg kitchen, and we chop them just large enough to provide textural contrast without overwhelming the delicate toffee.
How to Enjoy
Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place and serve slightly chilled for maximum crunch. These pair beautifully with coffee or port wine, and make an elegant addition to any dessert board.
Product FAQs
Q: Does this toffee contain gluten or other allergens?
A: This toffee is gluten-free and contains milk, tree nuts (pecans), and soy. The ingredients include butter, milk chocolate with whole milk powder, pecans, and soy lecithin. Hill Country Chocolate clearly labels all allergens on their packaging.
Q: How should I store the toffee to keep it fresh?
A: Store your toffee in a cool, dry place between 60-70°F away from direct sunlight. Keep the pieces in their original packaging or an airtight container to prevent the butter toffee from absorbing moisture, which can make it sticky. In Texas heat, a pantry or wine cooler works better than the refrigerator.
Q: Can I have this toffee shipped as a gift during summer months?
A: Hill Country Chocolate ships their toffee year-round with appropriate packaging to protect against heat. During warmer months (May-September), they use insulated packaging and ice packs for shipments leaving Fredericksburg, Texas. The 15-piece box makes an elegant gift presentation without additional wrapping needed.
Q: What beverages pair well with milk chocolate pecan toffee?
A: The buttery toffee and roasted pecans pair beautifully with medium-roast coffee, English Breakfast tea, or bourbon. For wine, try a tawny port or cream sherry—the nutty, caramel notes complement each other. A cold glass of whole milk brings out the creamy milk chocolate coating.
Q: What makes Hill Country Chocolate's toffee different from grocery store brands?
A: Hill Country Chocolate makes their toffee in small batches using real butter and Texas pecans, cooking it to the hard-crack stage (300°F) for proper snap. The milk chocolate coating is tempered for a glossy finish and clean break. Each bite-size piece is individually formed, not machine-cut, giving slight variations that show the handmade process.
Q: How many pieces come in a box and what size are they?
A: Each box contains 15 bite-size pieces of toffee. The pieces are approximately 1-1.5 inches across—small enough to eat in one or two bites but substantial enough to satisfy. The total weight varies slightly since each piece is hand-portioned, but the box typically contains 6-8 ounces of toffee.
