Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat butter and sugar on medium heat. Swirl the pot to stir and add 1/4 teaspoon sea salt flakes (or kosher salt). Using a whisk to incorporate the butter and sugar. It will look separated at first and as you stir it will come together and look like a thick vanilla pudding. (See Note 1)Using common sense as this is very hot, whisk carefully every minute or so being careful not to splatter the hot sugar mixture. Cook for 12 minutes, it should be a deep golden brown. Do not burn this!
  2. Remove from heat and with a heat proof spatula spread onto a silicone or aluminum foil lined baking sheet to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  3. Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top and allow to melt for a minute or two. Spread evenly until chocolate covers toffee. Sprinkle top with 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes and refrigerate for 10 minutes to cool, any more and it gets condensation droplets. Remove and set on counter to cool completely and harden. (See Note 2). Break into pieces and enjoy.

Notes

  • The internal temperature of the sugar mixture must reach 300°F to 310°F, which is the hard crack stage. That’s where the magic happens.
  • Allow it to cool and harden. About an hour.
