Homemade Toffee Bits

Directions

1. 1

   Prep the pan

   • Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. 2

   Make the toffee base

   • In a heavy-bottomed small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
   • Add the sugar and salt. Whisk vigorously for 1 minute until combined.
   • Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture looks like melted peanut butter and a candy thermometer reaches 295–305°F (about 10 minutes).
3. 3

   Fix separation (if needed)

   • If the mixture separates, remove from heat and whisk vigorously until recombined.
   • Return to heat and continue cooking.
4. 4

   Finish and cool

   • Immediately and carefully pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking pan, spreading it into an even layer.
   • Let cool and harden for about 20 minutes.
   • Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
