Recipe of the Month: Chocolate Toffee

In recognition of National Candy Day November 4, 2019, we bring to you…

Ingredients:

• 1 ¼ cup (2 ½ sticks) of butter
• 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ½ tsp of vanilla extract
• Pinch of kosher salt
• 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup toasted chopped almonds
• ½ cup toasted chopped pecans
• Flaky sea salt for garnish

Directions:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, vanilla and salt. Let butter melt and sugar dissolve, bring to a boil, then cook stirring constantly with a whisk so the butter and sugar don’t separate, until the mixture turns a dark amber – usually takes 10 to 15 minutes. You can attach a candy thermometer, ensure temp reaches 285.

Pour toffee mixture on prepared baking sheet and immediately top with chocolate chips, let sit 2 minutes so chocolate begins to melt. Spread chocolate to create a layer. Sprinkle all over with chopped nuts and sea salt.

Refrigerate to sit, cut or break into pieces and serve. You can use any nuts you choose – Be creative.
