Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the granulated sugar to the melted butter and stir constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to combine.
Continue to cook the butter-sugar mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a deep golden amber color and reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer (hard crack stage). This should take about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.
Once the toffee mixture reaches the desired temperature, immediately pour it onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out into an even layer, working quickly before it sets.
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Wait for 1-2 minutes until the chocolate chips soften and melt from the residual heat.
Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate into an even layer across the toffee.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the melted chocolate, pressing them gently into the surface so they adhere.
Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator to speed up the process. This will take about 1-2 hours.
Once fully cooled and hardened, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
