Ingredients

• 1 cup coconut oil
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free)
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts)

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium-sized heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the coconut oil, granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir the mixture constantly until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 4

Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan, ensuring it does not touch the bottom.

Step 5

Continue to cook the sugar mixture without stirring until it reaches a temperature of 300°F (150°C), which is the hard crack stage. This will take about 15-20 minutes.

Step 6

Once the correct temperature is reached, immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 7

Pour the hot toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Sprinkle the dairy-free dark chocolate chips across the toffee surface while it is still hot. Let them sit for a minute or two until softened, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the chocolate layer, pressing them in gently.

Step 10

Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature or place it in the refrigerator to speed up the setting process.

Step 11

Once fully cooled and hardened, break the toffee into pieces and store it in an airtight container.
