Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and salt.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until the butter has melted and the mixture comes to a boil.
Continue cooking the mixture, stirring frequently, until it reaches 300°F (149°C) on a candy thermometer. This is known as the 'hard crack' stage.
Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Be careful, as the mixture will bubble up slightly.
Quickly pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer using an offset spatula. Work quickly, as the toffee will begin to set almost immediately.
Allow the toffee to cool slightly (about 2-3 minutes) before sprinkling the surface with the chocolate chips. Let the chocolate sit for 2 minutes to melt, then spread it evenly over the toffee with a spatula.
Before the chocolate fully sets, press the candy numbers or edible number decorations onto the chocolate in your desired arrangement.
Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature or speed up the process by chilling it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Once the toffee has hardened, break it into pieces with your hands or a sharp knife.
Store the Numbers Toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!
