How to Make Chocolate Toffee Crunchies

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a saucepan, melt butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir constantly until it reaches a deep golden color, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

Pour the toffee onto the baking sheet and spread evenly.

Sprinkle chocolate chips on top, let them sit for a minute, then spread into a smooth layer.

Sprinkle nuts over the chocolate and press them lightly into place.

Let cool completely, then break into pieces.

Tips

Stir the toffee constantly to avoid burning.

Toast the nuts lightly before adding for extra flavor.

If you like extra crunch, sprinkle sea salt flakes on top before the chocolate sets.

These make excellent homemade holiday gifts wrapped in bags or boxes.
