Pesach Sea Salt Butter Toffees
Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 cup unsalted butter cubed
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and scatter almonds onto the prepared baking sheet.
- In a medium saucepan (preferably with a thick bottom to prevent burning), combine the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and sea salt over medium heat.
- Cook the mixture, whisking constantly, until the butter has melted and the mixture turns a rich almond brown color, about 10-15 minutes.
- Immediately spread the hot caramel mixture evenly over the almonds on the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee. After 1-2 minutes, spread the melted chocolate chips in an even layer until smooth.
- Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the melted chocolate.
- Let the toffee stand at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate if desired, until firm.
- Once firm, break the toffee into bite-size pieces and store in an airtight container.
Notes
PS: Ever wondered about the difference between caramels and toffees? While they’re made in a similar way, caramels retain their chewy texture, whereas toffees become hard and crunchy. Caramels also typically contain milk or cream to keep them soft and are cooked at a lower temperature.
