Recipe View 30 mins Chill and Break: Refrigerate the toffee until it is completely cool and firm. Once cooled, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. (Chill time: ~30 minutes)

For a deeper flavor, try using brown butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, cooking until the milk solids turn brown and the butter has a nutty aroma. Allow to cool slightly before adding it to the recipe.
High-quality chocolate will make a big difference in the final product. Consider using a couverture chocolate with a higher cocoa butter content for a smoother, richer flavor.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different nuts! Pecans, almonds, or even macadamia nuts would be delicious in this toffee.
Keep a very close eye on the toffee while it's in the microwave. It can go from perfectly golden to burnt very quickly.

    I substituted dark chocolate for the milk chocolate and it was amazing! I will definitely be making this again.

    I was a little nervous about making candy in the microwave, but this recipe worked perfectly! The sea salt is the perfect complement to the sweetness of the toffee.
