Nut-Free English Toffee

This Nut-Free English Toffee is a simple, buttery, and crunchy candy that's perfect for the holidays or as a treat any time of year. It’s made with just a few ingredients, and the best part is that it’s completely nut-free!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate, depending on preference)
  • Optional: A pinch of sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pan:

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

  2. Melt Butter and Sugar:

    • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the granulated sugar and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture reaches a boil.

  3. Cook the Toffee:

    • Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to stir constantly. Allow the mixture to simmer for 8-10 minutes until it reaches a rich golden-brown color and thickens. You can use a candy thermometer to check the temperature; it should reach 300°F (149°C), which is the "hard crack" stage.

  4. Add Vanilla and Baking Soda:

    • Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will bubble up, so be cautious.

  5. Pour the Toffee:

    • Carefully pour the toffee onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula.

  6. Add Chocolate:

    • Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for a minute or two to melt, then spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee with a spatula.

  7. Cool and Set:

    • Allow the toffee to cool at room temperature. Once the chocolate has set, you can break the toffee into pieces.

  8. Optional Sea Salt:

    • If you like a salted toffee, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the chocolate while it's still soft.

  9. Store:

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

Tips:

  • Chocolate Variations: You can use dark chocolate or milk chocolate depending on your preference.
  • Add-ins: If you’d like to add a little more texture, you can sprinkle crushed hard candies, toffee bits, or even a dusting of cocoa powder after the chocolate layer has melted.
  • Candy Thermometer: Using a candy thermometer is key to getting the right toffee texture. If you don’t have one, you can drop a bit of the hot toffee into a cup of cold water to check if it hardens properly.

Enjoy this Nut-Free English Toffee as a sweet, crunchy treat that’s sure to be loved by all! Would you like more candy recipes or tips for making it easier to prepare?
