Chocolate toffee, a rich blend of butter, sugar, and chocolate, is a beloved treat that’s surprisingly easy to make. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 tbsp water
- ½ cup (85g) chocolate chips (dark or milk)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Steps:
1. Prepare: Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
2. Cook the toffee: In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, butter, water, and salt. Heat over medium, stirring until the butter melts, then bring to a boil without stirring. Let it boil for 8–10 minutes until golden brown (watch closely to prevent burning).
3. Add flavor: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla if using.
4. Set the toffee: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
5. Top with chocolate: Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for 2 minutes, then spread with a knife to cover the surface.
6. Chill and cut: Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
Variations: For crunch, add chopped nuts (pecans or almonds) before the chocolate. Sprinkle sea salt over the chocolate for a sweet-salty twist. Enjoy your homemade toffee as a snack or gift!
