Description
A delightful holiday treat featuring buttery goodness, crunchy nuts, and rich chocolate that’s perfect for sharing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Combine the butter, granulated sugar, salt, and water in your saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture melts and begins to boil.
- Allow the mixture to boil without stirring until it reaches a deep golden color, about 8-12 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Quickly pour the hot toffee onto a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the toffee while it’s still hot, gently pressing them in.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler, then spread it over the nuts and toffee with a spatula.
- Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate for faster cooling.
- Break the chocolate-covered toffee into pieces once firmly set and enjoy!
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute unsalted butter with plant-based butter and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
