Easy Homemade Toffee Bits Recipes

Steps:

• In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.
• While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. Putting a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
• Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Combine the butter and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
• Cook until the mixture reaches 305F on an instant-read thermometer (hard-crack stage). Stir occasionally.
• Remove from the heat and pour onto the parchment, spreading thinly.
• Cool completely - about 4 hours - then break into bits.
• Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Place the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and caramelize on high heat stirring constantly. It will turn amber brown in about 5 minutes. When it is a uniform caramel color, add the butter, and stir it in. Once mostly combined, add the chocolate, and stir to blend. Pour it out onto a silpat or parchment lined sheet pan, and spread it with an offset spatula 1/8-inch thick. Let cool and break into small pieces. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F Line a 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat butter with brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla until creamy.
• Stir in flour and 1 cup of the toffee bits until well combined. Press dough evenly into prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until light brown; transfer pan to a cooling rack. Immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips over the hot cookie base. Let stand for 5 minutes or until chocolate is softened. Spread chocolate evenly over the base; sprinkle remaining toffee bits evenly over chocolate. Cool until chocolate is set, about 2-3 hours. Cut into 3-inch squares; cut each square diagonally to make 4 triangles.
