Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Light brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and salt to the saucepan, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula.
Cook the mixture, stirring continuously, until it reaches a uniform consistency and begins to boil. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan, making sure it does not touch the bottom.
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 300°F (149°C), also known as the 'hard crack stage.' This will take approximately 10–15 minutes. Be vigilant to prevent the mixture from burning.
Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.
Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
While the toffee is still warm, sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Allow the chips to sit for 2–3 minutes until softened, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the melted chocolate, pressing gently to ensure they adhere.
Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting, until the chocolate is firm and the toffee has hardened.
Once set, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a knife.
Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy!
