Toffee Time!
There are few sweet treats I adore more than a really good homemade toffee. ♡
The sweet-and-salty crunch, the melty chocolate on top, the way it breaks into those satisfyingly snappy little pieces — it’s absolute dessert perfection, if you ask me.
After making lots of toffee over the years, this is the recipe I’ve happily landed on as my personal favorite. It starts with a simple buttery toffee base, gets topped with chocolate chips that melt into a glossy layer, and finishes with a sprinkle of nuts (totally optional) and flaky sea salt. And I have to say — one of my favorite things about this version is that it doesn’t stick to your teeth!
If you’re new to toffee making, I definitely recommend using a candy thermometer to help everything cook to the proper temperatures. I’ve also included lots of tips below to ensure the process goes smoothly. It’s not difficult, and all you need are a few simple ingredients to make it happen. So let’s do it!
