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.
