Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- Granulated sugar
- Light corn syrup
- Vanilla extract
- Chopped nuts (optional)
- Chocolate (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Melt the butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir occasionally to prevent it from burning.
- Add sugar and corn syrup: Once the butter is fully melted, add the granulated sugar and light corn syrup. Stir until combined.
- Cook the mixture: Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature. Stir constantly until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
- Remove from heat: As soon as it reaches the correct temperature, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Be careful, as the mixture will bubble up!
- Pour onto the baking sheet: Quickly pour the hot toffee onto your prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula. If using nuts, sprinkle them on top while the toffee is still hot.
- Let it cool: Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature. This should take about an hour.
- Chocolate drizzle (optional): If you want to add chocolate, melt your chosen chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Drizzle it over the cooled toffee.
- Break into pieces: Once the chocolate has set, break the toffee into pieces and enjoy!
