How to Make Hazelnut Butter Toffee

  1. Line a baking sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup (30g) hazelnuts across the prepared pan.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter over low heat.
  4. Add 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup (118ml) light corn syrup. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  5. Increase heat to medium-high. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally. Continue boiling, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer (approximately 5-7 minutes).
  6. Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the hazelnuts, spreading it into a thin layer using a metal spatula or wooden spoon.
  7. Quickly spread 1/2 cup (113g) semi-sweet chocolate chips over the warm toffee using a spatula until melted and evenly distributed.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup (30g) hazelnuts over the chocolate, gently pressing them into the surface.
  9. Refrigerate until completely cool and the chocolate has hardened (at least 1 hour).
  10. Once firm, peel the toffee from the parchment paper and break into bite-sized pieces.
