Chocolate Toffee

By ldelmas

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 c. butter
• 1 1/2 c. sugar
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• pinch of kosher salt
• 2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 c. Toasted chopped almonds
• 1/2 c. toasted chopped pecans
• Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Preparation

Step 1

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt and cook, stirring constantly with a spatula, until mixture turns a dark amber, 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.)
Pour toffee mixture onto a parchment-lined 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.
Sprinkle all over with almonds and pecans (use chopped crumbs too for nice texture!) and flaky sea salt.
Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour, then cut or break into pieces and serve.
