Melt In Your Mouth Toffee

Recipe View Prepare your ingredients: Chop the walnuts and set aside. Have the butter cut into cubes and ready to go. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing it to overhang the edges. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Combine and cook: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the cubed butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula or wooden spoon until the butter is melted and the sugars are dissolved. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Boil to brittle: Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Once boiling, continue cooking, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching, until the mixture reaches the hard-crack stage (300°F or 150°C on a candy thermometer). This may take 15-20 minutes. Be patient and monitor the temperature carefully.

Recipe View Add nuts and chocolate: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Immediately pour the toasted walnuts and chocolate chips evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Recipe View Pour and cool: Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture over the nuts and chocolate chips in the dish. Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the toffee evenly. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Chill and break: Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour to firm up. (1 hour)

Recipe View Break and serve: Once chilled and firm, lift the toffee out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Break the toffee into irregular pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
