Irresistible Toffee
This homemade toffee is buttery, crispy, and covered in rich chocolate, making it a delectable treat that’s perfect for gifting or indulging in yourself.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, or walnuts) – optional
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, allowing some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment or foil.
- Cook the Toffee:
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and continue to cook without stirring, until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer, which is known as the hard crack stage. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour and Cool:
- Immediately pour the toffee mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula. Allow it to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Add Chocolate:
- While the toffee is still warm, sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Let the chocolate sit for a few minutes until it starts to melt, then spread it smoothly with a spatula.
- Add Nuts (optional):
- Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the melted chocolate, pressing them lightly into the surface to ensure they stick.
- Cool and Break:
- Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator to speed up the process. Once hardened, break the toffee into pieces.
- Store:
- Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Enjoy!
