Georgia’s Heavenly Melted Toffee

This recipe makes a rich, buttery toffee with just the right amount of sweetness and a satisfying nutty crunch. It’s a perfect treat for holidays, parties, or simply whenever you’re craving something indulgent.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans or almonds

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking pan or cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Make the Toffee

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the sugar, salt, and water, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves.
• Bring the mixture to a steady boil and cook until it reaches 300°F (the hard crack stage), stirring the entire time.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

3. Assemble the Layers

• Carefully pour the hot toffee onto the prepared parchment-lined sheet.
• Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top and allow them to sit for 1–2 minutes until softened.
• Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the surface.
• Top with chopped nuts, pressing them lightly into the warm chocolate.

4. Cool and Break Apart

• Let the toffee cool completely until hardened.
• Once set, break it into pieces.

Tip: For an added touch of flavor, sprinkle a bit of sea salt over the chocolate after it has firmed up.
