Classic Christmas Toffee


  • Author: miwangda.com
  • Total Time: 30

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pecans or walnuts chopped
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is melted together, which will take about 5 minutes.
  • Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper. Make it large enough that it covers the ends of the dish for easy removal.
  • After the butter has melted and everything is combined, allow the mixture to come to a boil.
  • Cook the mixture, stirring 2 to 3 times while it cooks. You will know it’s ready when it turns a dark amber color. Using a candy thermometer, see that it reaches 285 degrees F. This should take 20-25 minutes.
  • Pour the butter toffee mixture into the baking dish. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Allow them to soften and then spread them into a chocolate layer with a rubber spatula.
  • Sprinkle the chopped nuts on top and place the dish in the refrigerator. It will take 1-2 hours for the toffee to cure and harden.
  • Once hardened, lift the toffee out of the dish and break it into serving sizes. Enjoy!
