Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk or dark)
- 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts) optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Make the Toffee: In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking, without stirring, until it reaches a deep amber color (about 300°F or 150°C on a candy thermometer).
- Add Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Quickly pour the toffee onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly to form a thin layer.
- Top with Chocolate: Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let it sit for a few minutes to melt, then spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee.
- Finish with Nuts: If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the chocolate layer, pressing them lightly into the chocolate to adhere.
- Cool and Break: Allow the toffee crunch to cool completely at room temperature. Once set, break it into pieces and enjoy!
