Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
-
Once the butter is melted, add in the granulated sugar and water, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved.
-
Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan, making sure it doesn't touch the bottom.
-
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 300°F (hard-crack stage) on the candy thermometer. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
-
Once the toffee reaches 300°F, remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
-
Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into an even layer using a spatula.
-
Let the toffee cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top.
-
Allow the chocolate chips to soften for a minute or two, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a thin layer over the toffee.
-
Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the chocolate layer, gently pressing them into the chocolate.
-
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the toffee is completely set.
-
Once the toffee is firm, break it into pieces of your desired size and serve.
