Instructions:

Step 1:

Place parchment paper on a 9×9 inch baking tray and sprinkle the bottom with chopped pecans. Spread it evenly then set it aside.

Step 2:

In a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, add sugar, water, salt, and butter. Bring it to a boil while stirring frequently.

Step 3:

Once boiling, stir it occasionally until the mixture reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 4:

Remove the mixture from heat and gently stir in the vanilla, then immediately pour it over the chopped pecans on the tray. Spread it to the edges and into a flat layer using a spatula. Set it aside to let it cool for about 2 minutes.

Step 5:

Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the mixture and cover it with foil for about 4 minutes until softened. Spread the cholate into a thin layer using a spatula then sprinkle finely chopped pecans and sea salt on top if desired.

Step 6:

Refrigerate for at least an hour before removing from the baking tray and cutting into pieces. Serve and enjoy!
