Need a gift for friends, coworkers, and the babysitter? Chocolate toffee to the rescue. This recipe is really simple, but toffee in general can be a littttlllleee fussy. Our biggest piece of advice: WHISK CONSTANTLY! The moment you walk away from the saucepan, the butter and sugar will separate.

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups
(2 1/2 sticks) butter
- 1 1/4 cups
granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp.
pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
- 2 cups
semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup
toasted chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup
toasted chopped pecans
Flaky sea salt, for garnish
Directions
- Step 1Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Let butter melt and sugar dissolve and bring to a boil, then cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, so the butter and sugar don't separate, until mixture turns a dark amber and is thick, 12 to 15 minutes. (If you'd like to use a candy thermometer for this step, attach it to the saucepan and cook until the temperature reaches 285º.)
- Step 2Pour toffee mixture onto a prepared baking sheet and immediately top all over with chocolate chips. Let sit 2 minutes so chocolate begins to melt, then spread chocolate all over with a spatula to create a layer on top of toffee.
- Step 3Sprinkle all over with almonds and pecans (use chopped crumbs too for nice texture!) and flaky sea salt.
- Step 4Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour, then cut or break into pieces and serve.
