Ingredients

Scale

Toffee Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped almonds or pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to ensure easy removal of the toffee later.
  2. Melt Butter and Combine Ingredients: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the granulated sugar and salt, combining thoroughly.
  3. Cook Toffee Mixture: Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning and achieve a smooth texture. Monitor the temperature with a candy thermometer until it reaches about 300°F and the mixture turns a deep golden color.
  4. Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the toffee with flavor.
  5. Pour and Spread Toffee: Immediately pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly to form a uniform layer.
  6. Apply Chocolate Layer: Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the hot toffee and let sit for 1 to 2 minutes until the chocolate melts. Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into an even layer over the toffee.
  7. Add Nuts and Set: Top the chocolate layer with chopped almonds or pecans and gently press them into the chocolate to secure. Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate until fully set.
  8. Serve: Once set, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces and serve as a delightful sweet treat.

Notes

  • Stir the toffee mixture constantly to prevent burning and ensure a smooth, even texture.
  • Using a candy thermometer is essential to get the perfect toffee consistency.
  • You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate or white chocolate for different flavor variations.
  • Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
