The Best Ever Toffee Recipe: Super Easy to Make!

Ingredients

• 2 cups unsalted butter
• 2 cups white sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup finely chopped almonds

Instructions

1. Gather all the necessary ingredients to begin making your toffee.
2. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat.
3. Continuously stir the mixture in one direction until the butter is completely melted, approximately 5 minutes.
4. While the butter melts, line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overhangs two sides for easy removal.
5. Once the butter is melted, cease stirring and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to cook, stirring only 2 to 3 times, until it transforms into a dark amber color and reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) on a candy thermometer, which should take about 20 to 30 minutes.
6. Immediately pour the hot toffee into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top and let them sit for 1 to 2 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
7. Use a spatula to gently spread the softened chocolate into a thin, even layer across the toffee.
8. Sprinkle your choice of nuts over the chocolate layer and lightly press them down. Wearing a plastic bag over your hand can help minimize the mess during this step.
9. Place the toffee in the refrigerator to set until firm, which should take about 1 hour. Once hardened, lift the toffee out of the baking dish using the overhanging parchment paper.
10. Break the toffee into smaller pieces and store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
