Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
• 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (almonds or pecans preferred)

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and salt.

Step 3

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

Increase the heat slightly and cook until the toffee reaches 290°F (143°C) on a candy thermometer (soft crack stage), stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Step 5

Once the temperature is reached, quickly stir in the instant coffee granules and vanilla extract until fully dissolved and incorporated.

Step 6

Immediately pour the toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Let the toffee cool for 1-2 minutes, then evenly sprinkle the dark chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Allow the chocolate to melt for about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate smoothly over the toffee surface.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the top of the chocolate layer while it's still warm.

Step 10

Allow the toffee to cool and harden completely at room temperature for 1-2 hours or in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 11

Break the toffee into irregular pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
