Here’s What You’ll Need:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter: Because all good things start with butter.
• 1 cup granulated sugar: Sweet, sweet magic.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt: Just a pinch to keep things balanced.
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract: For that warm, cozy flavor.
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips: Because chocolate makes everything better.
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans or almonds: For that satisfying crunch.
• 1/4 cup toffee bits (Heath or similar): More toffee? Yes, please!

Directions: Let’s Get Cooking!

1. Prep Time

Grab a 9x13-inch baking sheet and line it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This is where the magic happens, so make sure it’s ready to go.

2. Butter & Sugar: The Dynamic Duo

Melt your butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. As it starts to bubble, stir in the sugar and salt. Keep stirring, and watch as the mixture transforms into liquid gold (a.k.a. toffee) after about 10-12 minutes. Once it’s a glorious golden brown, you’re good to go.

3. Vanilla Infusion

Remove your pan from the heat, and carefully stir in the vanilla extract. It might sizzle and pop, but don’t worry—that’s just the toffee getting excited.

4. Spread the Love

Pour your toffee onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Work quickly before it starts to set!

5. Chocolate Bliss

While the toffee is still warm, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Give them a minute to melt, then spread that chocolaty goodness evenly across the toffee.

6. Get Nutty

Sprinkle the chopped nuts and toffee bits over the melted chocolate. Press them down gently with a spatula to make sure they stick.

7. Cool Down

Let your toffee masterpiece cool for 2-3 hours at room temperature, or until it’s completely hardened.

8. Break It Up

Once set, break your toffee into bite-sized pieces. It’s ready to eat, share, or hoard all to yourself.
