Homemade Toffee Recipe

Ingredients for Homemade Toffee

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• Light Corn Syrup
• ¼ cup water
• Milk Chocolate Chips
• Walnuts

How to Make Homemade Toffee

1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy lifting. Lightly grease the foil with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter.
2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter completely.
3. Add the sugar, corn syrup, and water to the melted butter. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, without stirring, and clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Continue to boil, swirling occasionally, until the thermometer registers 298°F (148°C) – the firm-ball stage.
5. Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture onto the prepared foil. Using a spatula or spoon, quickly spread it into a thin, even layer.
6. Let the toffee cool for approximately 2 minutes. Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips evenly over the toffee.
7. After another 2 minutes, spread the softened chocolate chips evenly. Sprinkle half of the chopped nuts over the chocolate.
8. Carefully lift the toffee using the foil overhang and invert it onto a second sheet of foil. Immediately sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
9. Let it cool for 2 minutes, then spread the chocolate evenly. Sprinkle with the remaining nuts.
10. Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature (about 1-2 hours). Once completely cool, break into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
