Chocolate Peanut Toffee
This Chocolate Peanut Toffee is a sweet and crunchy delight! Perfect for sharing, it's easy to make and irresistible.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup real butter high-quality
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract for authentic flavor
- 2 cups roasted sea salt peanuts adds perfect crunch
- 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips good quality for rich finish
Instructions
- Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the toffee from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of real butter and 1 cup of sugar. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat slightly and add 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract. Continue to stir for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture turns a light golden brown.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 2 cups of roasted sea salt peanuts. Mix well until the peanuts are fully coated with the buttery sugar mixture.
- Pour the peanut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly and ensure it fills the entire pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut toffee mixture. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the top.
- Allow the toffee to cool at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator to speed up the setting process. Once set, break it into pieces.

Notes
- Watch your sugar mixture closely to avoid burning; it can go from perfect to burnt quickly!
- If you prefer a thicker toffee, consider doubling the recipe and using a smaller baking sheet.
- For an added crunch, sprinkle some crushed peanuts on top of the chocolate before it sets.
