Best Chocolate Toffee Recipe How To Make Chocolate Toffee

Ingredients

1 1/4 c. (2 1/2 sticks) butter

1 1/4 c. granulated sugar

1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Pinch kosher salt

2 c. semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 c. toasted chopped almonds

1/2 c. toasted chopped pecans

Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Let butter melt and sugar dissolve and bring to a boil, then cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, so the butter and sugar don’t separate, until mixture turns a dark amber and is thick, 12 to 15 minutes. (If you’d like to use a candy thermometer for this step, attach it to the saucepan and cook until the temperature reaches 285º.) Step 2Pour toffee mixture onto a prepared baking sheet and immediately top all over with chocolate chips. Let sit 2 minutes so chocolate begins to melt, then spread chocolate all over with a spatula to create a layer on top of toffee.Step 3Sprinkle all over with almonds and pecans (use chopped crumbs too for nice texture!) and flaky sea salt. Step 4Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour, then cut or break into pieces and serve.
