Homemade Toffee
Ingredients (Makes about 1 pound):
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Your Workspace:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
-
Cook the Toffee Base:
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Once melted, bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Cook until the mixture reaches 300°F (149°C), the “hard crack” stage. This takes about 10-15 minutes. (The toffee will turn a golden amber color.)
- Remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Pour and Spread:
- Pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out evenly with a spatula or tilt the pan gently to create a thin layer.
-
Add Chocolate:
- Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to soften, then spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee with a spatula.
-
Add Nuts (Optional):
- Sprinkle chopped nuts over the melted chocolate for added texture and flavor.
-
Cool and Break:
- Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until fully hardened. Once set, break it into pieces with your hands or a knife.
