Easy Butter Toffee Recipe (No Candy Thermometer!)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1-2 cups nuts of your choice (almonds, pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • Additional nuts, chopped finely, for topping

Instructions:

Prepare Your Baking Sheet:

  1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, ensuring the edges are well-covered for easy cleanup.
  2. Spread your nuts in an even layer across the lined baking sheet. Set aside.

Make the Toffee Base:

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter is fully melted, and the mixture is well-combined.

Cooking the Toffee:

  1. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly. Watch closely as the toffee changes color—it will start off pale and gradually deepen.
  2. Keep stirring and cooking until the mixture reaches a brown paper bag color (light to medium caramel). This step is crucial for the toffee flavor, so don’t rush it!
    • Tip: If the mixture separates or looks greasy, keep stirring—it will come back together as it thickens.
  3. Once the desired color is achieved, turn up the heat slightly for just a moment to get that rich, buttery toffee color. Stir constantly to prevent burning.

Assemble the Toffee:

  1. Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the nuts on the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out if needed, but work quickly as it will harden fast.

Add Chocolate and Nuts:

  1. While the toffee is still warm, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to soften from the heat of the toffee.
  2. Using a spatula or back of a spoon, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the surface.
  3. Sprinkle with additional chopped nuts for added crunch and decoration.

Cool and Break:

  1. Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting.
  2. Once fully set, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container.

Tips for Success:

  • Nuts Variation: Toast your nuts beforehand for extra flavor. Simply bake them at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or until fragrant.
  • Chocolate Choices: Use dark, white, or flavored chocolate chips to customize your toffee.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, keep in the fridge or freezer.

Enjoy this buttery, nutty, and chocolatey treat—it’s perfect for gifting or snacking! 🍬✨
