Step-by-Step Instructions for Toffee
  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish or baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine butter, sugar, salt, and water over medium heat, stirring continuously.
  3. Cook until it turns a deep golden brown color and reaches a hard crack stage of 300°F, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the hot toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly.
  6. While warm, sprinkle chocolate chips over the top and let them sit for 2 minutes to melt.
  7. Spread the melted chocolate across the surface of the toffee.
  8. Evenly sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the chocolate and press them in gently.
  9. Let the toffee cool at room temperature for about 2 hours or refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
