Line a 9x13” baking dish with parchment paper, then set aside. Add the pecans to a medium sized skillet.

Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir constantly to avoid any burning.

Once toasted, remove from the heat and let cool. Add the butter to a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until the butter has melted. Add in the sugar, corn syrup, water and salt.

Stir and bring to a simmer. Let the mixture simmer on medium heat for 30 minutes, or until it reaches 300°.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly. Let the mixture set for about 5 minutes.

Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top in an even layer and let sit for 1 minute. Use an offset or rubber spatula to spread the melted chocolate chips out in an even and smooth layer.

Sprinkle the toasted pecans on top, then let set for 1-2 hours or until completely cooled. Once completely cooled, break into pieces and serve.
