Nut Free English Toffee

 Nut-Free English Toffee


Nut-Free English Toffee

This nut-free English toffee is a buttery, crunchy treat that’s perfect for snacking, gifting, or enjoying during the holidays. Made without nuts, it focuses purely on the rich caramel flavor and decadent chocolate coating.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (340g) semisweet or milk chocolate chips
  • Optional: Sprinkles or sea salt for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pan:

    • Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.

  2. Cook the Toffee:

    • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the mixture is fully combined.
    • Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 285°F (140°C) on a candy thermometer (hard crack stage). The toffee should be golden brown.

  3. Add Vanilla and Pour:

    • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Immediately pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

  4. Add the Chocolate Layer:

    • Let the toffee cool for about 2 minutes, then sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Allow the chocolate to melt from the residual heat for 1-2 minutes, then spread it smoothly with a spatula.

  5. Cool and Set:

    • Add sprinkles or a pinch of sea salt on top, if desired. Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator to speed up the process.

  6. Break Into Pieces:

    • Once the toffee is fully set, break it into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a knife.

  7. Store and Enjoy:

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

Tips and Variations:

  • Temperature Accuracy: Use a candy thermometer to ensure the toffee reaches the proper temperature for the perfect crunch.
  • Flavor Boost: For a subtle twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to the toffee mixture.
  • Alternative Toppings: If you want texture without nuts, try crushed pretzels, coconut flakes, or toffee bits.
