This classic confection is a staple in many households during the holiday season. With its rich buttery flavor and crunchy texture, it's sure to be a hit with friends and family.

The star ingredient in our Christmas toffee recipe is butter. Make sure to use unsalted butter for the best flavor. You'll need 1 cup or 2 sticks of butter for this recipe.
Sugar is another key ingredient in our toffee. We recommend using granulated white sugar, as it melts evenly and creates the perfect texture. You'll need 1 cup of sugar for this recipe.
A pinch of salt helps to balance out the sweetness in the toffee. You can use regular table salt or sea salt, depending on your preference.
To add depth of flavor to our toffee, vanilla extract is a must. Use 1 teaspoon for this recipe.
For the chocolate layer on top of the toffee, we recommend using semisweet chocolate chips. They melt easily and have the perfect balance of sweetness. You'll need 1 cup for this recipe.
Lastly, for a festive touch and some added crunch, pecans are the perfect addition. You can use whole pecans or chop them up into smaller pieces. You'll need 1 cup for this recipe.
Start by lining a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the toffee once it has hardened.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in the sugar and salt, stirring constantly until well combined.
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a deep golden brown color. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes. To test if it's done, drop a small amount of the mixture into a cup of cold water. If it hardens into a brittle ball, it's ready.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Carefully pour the hot toffee mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the hot toffee. Let them sit for a few minutes until they start to melt, then spread the chocolate out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the pecans on top of the melted chocolate.
Allow the toffee to cool and harden completely, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Once the toffee has hardened, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper and break it into pieces. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
And there you have it, a delicious and easy Christmas toffee recipe that is sure to be a hit with your loved ones this holiday season!Ingredients
