Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.75 cup Roasted macadamia nuts, chopped
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt flakes (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine unsalted butter, granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Bring the mixture to a boil and insert a candy thermometer. Cook without stirring until the temperature reaches 300°F (hard crack stage), about 10-15 minutes.
Once the toffee reaches 300°F, immediately remove it from the heat and stir in the roasted macadamia nuts quickly.
Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
While the toffee is still hot, sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the surface. Let sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften, then spread it evenly with an offset spatula.
If using, sprinkle sea salt flakes over the melted chocolate for extra flavor.
Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature, about 1 hour, or refrigerate it to speed up the process.
Once hardened, break the toffee into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
