Learn how to make this quick & easy homemade toffee! A great Christmas recipe, but delicious any time of year. It might be a very good idea for Valentine’s Day! You’ll need a candy thermometer for this one, but it’s so worth it!
Quick & Easy Toffee Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- crushed pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or wax paper and grease it with butter. Set aside until toffee is ready to pour.
- Melt butter, sugar, and salt in saucepan stirring constantly until butter is melted.
- Bring mixture to a boil then stop stirring (except maybe a few times) and keep it boiling until candy thermometer reaches ~285-290º.
- As soon as toffee mixture reaches the right temperature, pour in greased baking sheet.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips all over hot toffee and let it sit for a few moments until it softens. Once it softens, spread melty chocolate chips around toffee until surface is covered.
- If desired, add crushed nuts on some or all of the chocolate layer. (I like to do half with and half without.)
- Place pan in fridge for about an hour until it sets and then it take out and either break into pieces or use a sturdy knife to score toffee and cut into squares.
