Chocolate Butter Toffee

 Chocolate Butter Toffee


Chocolate Butter Toffee

Chocolate Butter Toffee is a crunchy, buttery confection topped with a layer of smooth chocolate and optional nuts. It's a delightful treat for holidays, gifting, or just satisfying your sweet tooth!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (265g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (60g) chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts - optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Sheet:

    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.

  2. Cook the Toffee Base:

    • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and salt, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
    • Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 300°F (149°C) on a candy thermometer (hard crack stage). This takes about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.

  3. Add Vanilla:

    • Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble slightly.

  4. Pour and Spread:

    • Pour the toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer using a spatula. Work quickly before it starts to set.

  5. Add the Chocolate:

    • Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Let sit for 1-2 minutes to soften, then spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer using a spatula.

  6. Top with Nuts (Optional):

    • If using nuts, sprinkle them over the chocolate while it’s still melted. Lightly press the nuts into the chocolate to ensure they stick.

  7. Cool and Break:

    • Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until it hardens. Once set, break it into pieces with your hands or a knife.

  8. Serve or Store:

    • Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.

Tips and Variations:

  • Flavor Enhancements: Add a pinch of sea salt or a drizzle of caramel over the chocolate for extra flavor.
  • Layer Options: Use white chocolate or dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for different flavor profiles.
  • Temperature Check: A candy thermometer is crucial to reach the perfect hard crack stage.
