- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly grease the foil with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the brown sugar and salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Continue boiling for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture reaches 250°F (121°C) on a candy thermometer or forms a hard ball when dropped in cold water.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the hot toffee mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Let sit for 2-3 minutes until melted, then spread gently with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the chocolate layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
- Remove from pan using the foil, peel off the foil, and break into pieces.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
