Classic English Toffee Recipe

English toffee is a buttery, crunchy treat with a sweet caramelized flavor, often topped with chocolate and nuts. This recipe is perfect for gifting or enjoying as a homemade dessert.

Ingredients (Makes about 1 pound):

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (75g) chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Baking Tray:

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

  2. Melt the Butter:

    • In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar, water, and salt, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.

  3. Cook the Toffee:

    • Continue stirring as the mixture boils. It will start to thicken and turn a golden amber color. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature; it should reach 300°F (149°C), known as the "hard crack stage." This takes about 10-15 minutes.

  4. Add Vanilla:

    • Once the toffee reaches the right temperature, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Be cautious as it may bubble.

  5. Pour and Spread:

    • Quickly pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it evenly with a spatula.

  6. Add Chocolate:

    • While the toffee is still hot, sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Let them sit for a minute to melt, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer.

  7. Top with Nuts:

    • Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the chocolate layer, pressing lightly to adhere. Skip this step if you prefer nut-free toffee.

  8. Cool and Break:

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

  9. Store:

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

Tips and Variations:

  • Temperature Accuracy: A candy thermometer is essential to ensure the toffee reaches the correct stage.
  • Nut-Free Option: Simply skip the nuts, or sprinkle sea salt for a sweet-and-salty variation.
  • Dark Chocolate Twist: Substitute semi-sweet chocolate with dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Gift Idea: Wrap pieces of toffee in wax paper or place them in decorative tins for a festive treat.
