Best Toffee Ever - Super Easy

Gather all ingredients.

Combine butter, sugar, and salt in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.

Stir constantly in one direction until butter is melted, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, line a 9x13-inch baking dish with a sheet of parchment paper, letting it overhang two sides of the dish.

Once the butter has melted, stop stirring and bring mixture to a boil. Once boiling, cook, stirring only 2 to 3 times, until it turns a dark amber color and the temperature reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) on a candy thermometer, 20 to 30 minutes.

Immediately pour toffee into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top and let sit until they soften, 1 to 2 minutes.

Use a spatula to spread softened chocolate into a thin, even layer.

Sprinkle nuts over the chocolate and press down slightly; wearing a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.

Place toffee in the refrigerator until set, about 1 hour. Lift hardened toffee out of the baking dish with the parchment paper.

Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
