Need a gift for friends, coworkers, and the babysitter? Chocolate toffee to the rescue. This recipe is really simple, but toffee in general can be a littttlllleee fussy. Our biggest piece of advice: WHISK CONSTANTLY! The moment you walk away from the saucepan, the butter and sugar will separate.

Total Time:: 1 hr 30 mins

Ingredients

1 1/4 c.
(2 1/2 sticks) butter
1 1/4 c.
granulated sugar
1/2 tsp.
pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
2 c.
semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c.
toasted chopped almonds
1/2 c.
toasted chopped pecans
Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Directions

1. Step 1Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Let butter melt and sugar dissolve and bring to a boil, then cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, so the butter and sugar don't separate, until mixture turns a dark amber and is thick, 12 to 15 minutes. (If you'd like to use a candy thermometer for this step, attach it to the saucepan and cook until the temperature reaches 285º.)
2. Step 2Pour toffee mixture onto a prepared baking sheet and immediately top all over with chocolate chips. Let sit 2 minutes so chocolate begins to melt, then spread chocolate all over with a spatula to create a layer on top of toffee.
3. Step 3Sprinkle all over with almonds and pecans (use chopped crumbs too for nice texture!) and flaky sea salt.
4. Step 4Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour, then cut or break into pieces and serve.
