Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Toffee

Prepare Your Baking Dish: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Have all your ingredients measured and ready.
Melt the Mixture: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, salt, and water. Stir constantly for about 10-15 minutes until deep golden brown. Use a candy thermometer to check for 300°F, then stir in vanilla extract.
Spread the Toffee: Quickly pour the toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly with a spatula and let sit for 1-2 minutes until it firms up slightly.
Add the Chocolate: While warm, sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top. Allow to melt for about 2 minutes, then spread it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle the Nuts: Add chopped nuts over the melted chocolate and gently press them in with a spatula.
Cool the Toffee: Let it cool at room temperature for about 2 hours or refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm, then break into pieces.
