Ingredients
  

Toffee Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, preferably at room temperature For easier mixing
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts, toasted) For added flavor
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Ensure they are Halal-certified

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to ensure your toffee doesn’t stick.
  2. In a heavy saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the butter melts and the sugars dissolve—this should take about 5 minutes.
  3. Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a boil. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature, aiming for 300°F (hard crack stage).
  4. Once at 300°F, immediately remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and baking soda, being careful as the mixture might bubble up.
  5. Quickly pour the hot toffee onto your prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Let it cool for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Allow them to melt slightly, then spread the melted chocolate evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the toasted nuts on top and press them gently into the chocolate.
  8. Let the toffee cool completely before breaking it into pieces, which usually takes about an hour.
Storage
  1. Store your toffee in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

Notes

For variations, consider using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet or adding a pinch of sea salt on top before serving. Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent burning.
