Melt-In-Your-Mouth Toffee – Page 2

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Surface

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

Step 2: Cook the Toffee

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns a deep golden brown and reaches 285°F (140°C) on a candy thermometer (this is the “hard crack” stage).
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract quickly.

Step 3: Pour and Set

Immediately pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly using a spatula.
Let it sit for about 2 minutes, then sprinkle chocolate chips over the warm toffee.
Allow the chocolate to soften for 2-3 minutes, then use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.
Sprinkle chopped nuts over the melted chocolate (if using).

Step 4: Cool and Break into Pieces

Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set.
Once hardened, break it into bite-sized pieces and enjoy!

Tips for the Perfect Toffee

Use a candy thermometer – Toffee can go from perfect to burnt quickly! Aim for 285°F (140°C) for the right texture.
Stir constantly – To prevent burning, stir frequently while the sugar melts.
Avoid humidity – Toffee is best made in a dry environment, as humidity can cause it to become sticky.
Use high-quality butter – Butter adds richness, so using real, high-quality butter makes a big difference.

Storage & Gifting Ideas

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 1 month or freeze for up to 3 months.
