Every year I host a Christmas party for my sister's (all 6)! This year, #5 brought this toffee topped with chocolate and it was awesome! She said it was so easy, no thermometers, nothing! I thought, I am IN!
I got the recipe and went at it. I filmed it my first time to see if it was really that easy aaanndddd...it was! Imagine a huge homemade heath bar if you will!
A major tip: If you let this come to a boil to quickly, it will separate. It takes patience. Keep stirring and after it comes to a boil, it took mine about 10 minutes to get that toffee color I wanted.
Here is what you need:
1 cup (2 sticks) of butter
1 cup granulated white sugar
2 Tbsps water
Chocolate chips
Before you start!!!
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Have your chocolate chips ready!
NOW....
Place all ingredients in a heavyish bottom pan. SLOWLY heat until it comes to a steady boil, just a rolling boil, nothing to crazy. Keep stirring the entire time. After it starts boiling you are going to let it continue until it turns the color of toffee or a bit darker than caramel. When you run a spoon through it, you want it to stay separated for a couple of seconds as well. When you think it meets your color analysis of being the color of toffee, pour unto your parchment lined paper and spread out. The thinner you spread it the easier it is to eat, but it breaks way easy too. I like mine a little thicker than thinner. Immediately sprinkle your chocolate chips on. Measure with your heart. Let sit for a m8 use or until they are melt and spread with an offset spatula or knife. Now let sit until it is all set and hard. Break apart and enjoy!
