Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granular erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 quarter teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans)
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the granular erythritol or monk fruit sweetener.
Stir the mixture constantly with a heat-resistant spatula until the sweetener dissolves completely. Continue to cook by stirring frequently until the mixture reaches a deep golden brown color and a thick consistency, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Use a candy thermometer to ensure the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.
Carefully pour the toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly with the spatula.
Sprinkle the sugar-free dark chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Allow them to sit for about 1 minute, or until they begin to soften and melt.
Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate smoothly over the surface of the toffee.
Scatter the chopped nuts over the chocolate layer, pressing them gently into the chocolate so they adhere as it cools.
Allow the toffee to cool and harden completely at room temperature; this can take about 2 hours. For quicker cooling, place the toffee in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Once set, break the toffee into pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
