Ingredients
  

For the Toffee Base
  • 0.5 cups Unsalted Butter Can use salted butter but reduce salt in recipe.
  • 1 cups Granulated Sugar Brown sugar can add a deeper flavor but alters the texture slightly.
  • 1 ts Salt Use fine sea salt for best results.
  • 1 ts Vanilla Extract Optional: Can switch with almond extract for a different flavor.
  • 2 tablespoon Water
For the Chocolate Layer
  • 1 cups Semi-Sweet or Milk Chocolate Chips Can use white chocolate or a blend of different chocolates for variety.
For the Topping
  • 1 cups Chopped Pecans, Walnuts, or Almonds Can skip for a nut-free version or replace with toffee bits.

Equipment

  • Heavy-bottomed saucepan
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Spatula
  • candy thermometer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine half a cup of unsalted butter, one cup of granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, and two tablespoons of water.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a deep golden brown color and a temperature of 300°F, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Remove the pan from heat and stir in one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Quickly pour the hot toffee mixture onto the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  6. Sprinkle a generous amount of chocolate chips over the surface and let them sit for about 2 minutes to soften.
  7. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee using a spatula.
  8. Sprinkle chopped nuts over the chocolate layer and gently press them into the melted chocolate.
  9. Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature for about 2 hours or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  10. Once set, lift the toffee out using the parchment paper edges and break it into bite-sized pieces.
