Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1.5 cups Hazelnuts (toasted and chopped)
• 1.25 cups Semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Lightly grease the surface to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water over medium heat.

Step 3

Stir continuously with a wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.

Step 4

Attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan, ensuring the tip does not touch the bottom. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.

Step 5

Cook the mixture without stirring until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage), about 10-15 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid scorching.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract, kosher salt, and half of the chopped hazelnuts (3/4 cup). Be cautious as the mixture is extremely hot and may bubble.

Step 7

Quickly pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a heatproof spatula or spoon. Work quickly before it begins to harden.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the surface of the hot toffee. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes until softened, then spread the melted chocolate into an even layer using an offset spatula.

Step 9

While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the remaining chopped hazelnuts (3/4 cup) over the top, pressing gently to help them adhere.

Step 10

Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until the chocolate is fully set.

Step 11

Once hardened, break the toffee into pieces of desired size with your hands or a sharp knife.

Step 12

Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy!
