Instructions
Creating the Classic Christmas Toffee is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to ensure delicious results:
1. Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. Melt Butter in a Saucepan: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter completely.
3. Add Sugar and Corn Syrup: Stir in the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt until the mixture is smooth.
4. Cook the Mixture: Continue stirring while the mixture comes to a boil. Allow it to boil without stirring for about 10–15 minutes, or until it reaches a deep golden-brown color.
5. Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Pour onto Prepared Sheet: Immediately pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly.
7. Sprinkle Chocolate Chips: Allow the toffee to sit for a couple of minutes until it’s firm enough to hold chocolate but not completely cool. Then, scatter the chocolate chips over the hot toffee.
8. Spread Chocolate: Once the chips have melted, use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly over the surface.
9. Add Nuts and Sea Salt: Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the melted chocolate, followed by a light sprinkle of sea salt.
10. Cool Completely: Let the toffee cool at room temperature for about an hour until fully set.
11. Break Into Pieces: Once cooled, break the toffee into pieces of your desired size.
