Description

A delightfully buttery and crunchy English toffee, perfect for holiday gifting and entertaining.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or almonds)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt butter and sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  2. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches the hard crack stage (300°F to 310°F), about 10-15 minutes.
  3. Once it turns a golden color and has the toffee aroma, pour it onto a prepared parchment paper.
  4. Sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts over the hot toffee.
  5. Allow to cool at room temperature until set, then break into pieces.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature, or freeze for up to 2 months.
