Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup Chopped nuts (such as almonds or pecans)
Instructions
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and salt to the melted butter, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula.
Continue cooking the mixture, stirring frequently, until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer. The mixture should be golden brown and bubbling. Be careful not to burn it.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract.
Quickly pour the hot toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
While the toffee is still hot, sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Let them sit for 2–3 minutes to melt.
Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the melted chocolate layer, gently pressing them down so they adhere.
Allow the toffee bites to cool and set completely at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Once fully set, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces by hand or using a knife.
Store the Chocolate Toffee Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
