1 cup Semi-Sweet or Milk Chocolate Chips Substitution: Dark chocolate for a more intense flavor, or white chocolate for a sweeter profile.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare Your Pan & Ingredients: Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, gathering all ingredients together.
Make the Toffee Base: In a saucepan, combine butter, sugar, salt, and water. Heat over medium, stirring continuously until golden brown, reaching hard crack stage (300°F) in about 10-15 minutes.
Pour & Spread: Quickly pour the toffee onto the baking dish, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Add the Chocolate: Let the toffee sit for 1-2 minutes, then sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly. Wait 2 minutes for melting, then spread into an even layer.
Sprinkle the Nuts: Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the melted chocolate, pressing them gently to adhere.
Let It Set & Break: Cool at room temperature for about 2 hours or refrigerate for 30 minutes. Once hardened, lift the parchment paper out and break into bite-sized pieces.
