4-Ingredient Chocolate Nut Toffee

Ingredients

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 lb unsalted butter
  • 1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4-1/2 cup chopped nuts (pick your favorite)

Method

  1. Place the butter into a large saucepan and melt it.
  2. Keep stirring the mixture continuously as it cooks until it develops a rich caramel hue. If using a thermometer, the temperature should reach 280-300°F.
  3. You may choose to incorporate the chopped nuts at this stage or reserve them for later.
  4. Transfer the hot toffee mixture onto a generously sized, greased baking sheet with a rim.
  5. Allow the toffee to cool for several minutes until it starts to firm up, then scatter the chocolate chips over the surface.
  6. After the chocolate has melted, use a spatula to spread it evenly. If you saved the nuts, press them into the soft chocolate layer.
  7. Let the toffee cool fully before breaking it into small, irregular pieces.
