Ingredients

For the toffee:

• 1 cup unsalted butter (cut into pieces)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the chocolate topping:

• 1 1/2 cups semisweet or dark chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup crushed nuts (optional, such as almonds or pecans)
• 1/4 cup crushed pretzels or candy pieces (optional)
• Pinch of sea salt flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
2. Gather all ingredients before starting, as the toffee mixture needs to be handled quickly.

Step 2: Make the Toffee Base

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add sugar and salt, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it cook, stirring frequently, until it reaches 300°F (150°C) or turns a deep golden color. Use a candy thermometer for precision.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Immediately pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 3: Add the Chocolate Layer

1. While the toffee is still hot, sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Let them sit for 2–3 minutes until they soften.
2. Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee layer.

Step 4: Customize with Toppings

1. Sprinkle your choice of crushed nuts, pretzels, or candy pieces over the chocolate. Add a pinch of sea salt flakes for a sweet-and-salty contrast.
2. Let the bark cool at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting.

Step 5: Break and Serve

1. Once completely hardened, break the toffee bark into irregular pieces using your hands or a knife.
2. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.

Tips for Success

• Use a candy thermometer to achieve the perfect toffee texture and avoid burning.
• Work quickly when adding chocolate and toppings to ensure they stick to the hot toffee.
• Experiment with toppings—try shredded coconut, dried fruits, or crushed graham crackers for a fun twist.

Conclusion
This chocolate toffee bark is a simple yet irresistible dessert that’s perfect for gifting, special occasions, or everyday snacking. The combination of crunchy toffee, smooth chocolate, and customizable toppings will keep everyone coming back for more.
