Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 2 sticks or 1 cup, unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp corn syrup
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 rounded cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts for garnish

Instruction

  • Line a square 9x9 baking pan with foil, leaving the ends overlapping the edges so you can lift the toffee out when it has set for easier cutting.
  • Put the butter, sugar, corn syrup and water in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
  • Gently boil the mixture, stirring constantly, until it darkens in color and reaches 300F on a candy thermometer.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped walnuts. Pour the hot candy into the prepared pan, smoothing out with a spatula. Be very careful as this is very hot.
  • Scatter the chocolate chips evenly across the surface of the toffee and let sit for a couple of minutes to let the chocolate melt. Spread the chocolate out evenly with a spreader. Then top with chopped nuts, pressing them in gently so they will stick to the chocolate.
  • Let cool until set, either at room temperature, or in the refrigerator.
  • Remove the foil and cut into pieces.
