With its golden snap, rich buttery flavor, and melt-in-your-mouth texture, this Homemade Toffee is a show-stopping classic. Topped with chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt or almonds, it’s the kind of treat that disappears fast—make extra if you want any left for yourself.
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped almonds or a pinch of flaky sea salt (for topping)
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a heavy saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar and salt. Stir constantly.
Cook the mixture until it reaches a deep golden color and hits 300°F (hard crack stage), about 10–12 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Immediately pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread quickly.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot toffee. Let sit 2 minutes, then spread into an even layer.
Top with chopped almonds or sea salt.
Cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate to speed it up.
Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
