Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe uses simple, pantry-friendly ingredients:
- Butter – The foundation of the toffee; use real, unsalted butter for the best flavor.
- Granulated sugar – Helps create that signature snap and golden caramelization.
- Salt – Just a pinch to balance the sweetness.
- Semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips – Melted over the warm toffee for a luscious topping.
- Chopped nuts – Traditionally almonds or pecans, but walnuts work great too.
How to Make It
- Melt & Cook: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt butter and sugar together, stirring constantly. Let the mixture bubble and turn a rich amber color — usually about 10-15 minutes over medium heat.
- Spread the Toffee: Pour the hot toffee mixture onto a lined baking sheet and spread evenly.
- Add Chocolate: Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee and let them sit for a minute or two until they melt. Then, spread the chocolate into a smooth layer.
