Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., almonds or pecans)
Instructions
Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Set aside.
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir continuously to combine.
Increase the heat slightly and continue stirring until the mixture reaches 300°F (149°C) on a candy thermometer. This is the hard crack stage. Be cautious as the mixture will be extremely hot.
Quickly and carefully pour the hot toffee mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a heatproof spatula if needed.
Allow the toffee to cool slightly (about 2-3 minutes). While it’s still warm, sprinkle the milk chocolate chips evenly over the surface.
Let the chocolate chips sit for 2-3 minutes until they soften, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer across the toffee.
If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the melted chocolate while it’s still soft, pressing them in gently so they adhere.
Allow the Skor Bar to cool completely at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once set, break the toffee into pieces of your desired size. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
