Cuisine: American
Serves: 20 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 lb butter (I use salted butter)
  • 2 ¼ cups sugar
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet or dark chocolate)
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts or your favorite nuts)
Instructions
  1. In a heavy bottom saucepan over high heat melt the butter
  2. then add the sugar and bring it to a boil
  3. stirring constantly for the next 10 minutes or until it reaches a light caramel color. (285 degrees)
  4. test by dropping a spoonful into cold water until it reaches hard crack candy stage (forms a ball easily and hardens) sounds more difficult than it really is and it’s a perfect time to see the real color. Undercooked and the toffee will stick to your teeth for days, overcooked will taste burnt.
  5. Pour directly onto a baking sheet with edges wait until it firms up but is still hot (3-4 minutes or so) then pour on an entire package of chocolate chips give them a few minutes to start to melt then spread the chocolate to the edges like you are icing a cake.
  6. sprinkle on chopped nuts and allow to harden I let it cool on the counter for a 1/2 hour then put it in the fridge for 20-30 minutes and then bread into pieces.
