Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup organic cane sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped almonds
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut oil, organic cane sugar, maple syrup, and water. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan. Allow the mixture to cook without stirring until it reaches 300°F (149°C), which is the hard-crack stage for candy.
Step 4
Once the temperature is reached, remove the saucepan from heat immediately. Carefully stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Exercise caution as the mixture may bubble up.
Step 5
Quickly, but carefully, pour the hot toffee thickly and evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it quickly because the toffee will begin to set almost immediately.
Step 6
Immediately sprinkle the chopped almonds over the hot toffee, gently pressing them in with the spatula.
Step 7
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the vegan chocolate chips just until smooth, using intervals of 20 seconds if using a microwave.
Step 8
Pour the melted chocolate over the toffee, spreading it evenly.
Step 9
Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate it for faster setting.
Step 10
Once completely set, break the toffee into about 12 pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
