English Toffee

Ever since I've tried my hand in cooking, I feel like I can *cough* cook anything *cough*. I regularly cook at home now, and I feel oh-so-proud whenever I get compliments in my cooking. However it stings whenever there are criticisms... but that doesn't stop me from wanting to be better. Desserts are my biggest frustrations... to put it simply, I suck at it. But, somehow, I can't stop myself from downloading dessert recipes. And this gorgeous English Toffee is definitely my next project.

• 3/4 cup pecans, finely chopped
• 1 cup butter
