Ingredients

For the toffee base:

• 1 cup unsalted butter (cubed)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the chocolate topping:

• 1 1/2 cups milk or dark chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or hazelnuts)
• 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers or pretzels (optional)
• Sea salt flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Pan

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Keep all ingredients measured and ready before starting, as the toffee hardens quickly.

Step 2: Make the Toffee

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and salt, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
2. Stir constantly as the mixture bubbles and thickens, cooking until it reaches 300°F (150°C) or turns a golden amber color. Use a candy thermometer for accuracy.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Quickly pour the toffee onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 3: Add the Chocolate Layer

1. While the toffee is still hot, sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly across the surface. Let them sit for 2–3 minutes to melt.
2. Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer.

Step 4: Add Toppings

1. Sprinkle chopped nuts, crushed crackers, or pretzels over the chocolate while it’s still soft. For a gourmet touch, add a pinch of sea salt flakes.
2. Let the toffee bark cool completely at room temperature, or refrigerate for faster setting.

Step 5: Break and Enjoy

1. Once hardened, break the bark into bite-sized pieces with your hands or a knife.
2. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Tips for Success

• Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the toffee from burning.
• Customize your toppings—try dried cranberries, shredded coconut, or candy pieces for variety.
• Avoid stirring too vigorously during cooking to maintain a smooth texture.

Conclusion
This chocolate toffee crunch is the perfect blend of buttery caramel, creamy chocolate, and crunchy toppings. Whether you’re making it for a festive occasion or just to treat yourself, this easy recipe guarantees delicious results every time.
