This homemade toffee recipe combines buttery richness, smooth chocolate, and crunchy nuts for a nostalgic treat that’s surprisingly easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5g) salt
  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (60g) chopped nuts (pecans, almonds, or walnuts)
  • Optional flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Gather all ingredients and tools.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine butter, sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted.
  3. Continue stirring as the mixture comes to a boil. Attach a candy thermometer and cook until the temperature reaches 300°F (149°C), the ‘hard crack’ stage, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and quickly stir in vanilla extract. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble slightly.
  5. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly using a spatula. Work quickly as the toffee will harden.
  6. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for a minute to melt, then spread into an even layer. Immediately sprinkle chopped nuts over the chocolate.
  7. Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature for about 2 hours. Once hardened, break it into pieces using your hands or a knife.

Notes

[“Use a candy thermometer for precision to reach the ‘hard crack’ stage.”, ‘Toast nuts beforehand for enhanced flavor.’, ‘Work quickly when spreading the toffee and adding chocolate as it hardens fast.’, ‘Let the toffee cool completely before breaking it into pieces.’]
