Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups walnuts (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 King-size Hershey milk chocolate bars

Instruction

  • Lightly butter 10x12 cookie sheet (with lip). Spread half the walnuts evenly on top.
  • Using a heavy-bottom pan, melt butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt over low heat, stirring gently until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  • Continue cooking and gently stirring over low heat for 9 - 12 minutes, or until a candy thermometer reads 280-300 degrees.
  • Evenly pour mixture on top of walnuts and quickly spread into a thin layer.
  • Lay chocolate bars on top and allow to sit for about 30 seconds until slightly melted. Using an offset spatula, carefully spread the chocolate into a thin layer.
  • Sprinkle the remaining walnuts all over the top and gently press in with a fork.
  • Allow toffee to set until completely cool, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to completely firm up.
  • Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
