This is the best English Toffee recipe I have ever had, it's easy and has the perfect crunch. It is so good with chopped peanuts or almonds in the center.

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup almonds or peanuts chopped (optional)
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (we like milk chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until butter and sugar are dissolved together, then bring to a rolling boil.
- Cook and stir until the mixture turns a caramel brown and reaches the crack stage (we used a candy thermometer and it was around 310 degrees).
- Pour toffee over a handful of your favorite nuts on a cookie sheet lined with cooking spray.
- While the toffee is still hot, gently sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top.
- When the chocolate chips begin to melt, smooth them out over the toffee.
- Cool completely before breaking into pieces.
Notes
- We received this recipe suggestion in our comments. Thank you, Bonnie!
- "I learned to make a very similar toffee at a professional candy-making class. Find liquid lecithin and add about one teaspoon after all ingredients come to a boil. Lecithin is an emulsifier and will make a difference. If butter separates, you’re probably cooking on too high heat……vigorously stir in the ‘white ‘ foamy part and all should be well.
- The recipe is easier if you use a couple of wooden spoons…..change spoons/take a wet paper towel around the top of the toffee to rid of any stray sugar crystals.
- Candy will take longer if you make it on a rainy day ~ I put coarse salt lightly on top.
