HOMEMADE TOFFEE CANDY

Ingredients

1 cup butter
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 tsp sea salt

METHOD:

Butter a baking sheet or put Silpat on a baking sheet, and set aside.Melt the butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, stir in the sugar, water and corn syrup, until the sugar has dissolved. Once the mixture starts to boil, stop stirring.

Set a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan and cook, without stirring, until the mixture reaches about 300 degrees (it took me 8-10 minutes).When the mixture hits 300 degrees, remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the toffee in an even layer onto the baking sheet.

Sprinkle the chopped chocolate over the hot toffee. After a few minutes, the chocolate will be soft enough to spread with an offset spatula in an even layer over the toffee.
Sprinkle the sea salt over the melted chocolate once it’s spread evenly.

Cool completely in the refrigerator, and then break into pieces.
