Ingredients

  • 1 cup of white sugar
  • 1 cup of butter or vegan butter substitute
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, any type depending on your preference
  • 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, pecans or any type of nuts you like

Recipe

  1. To make the toffee part of the candy bars, combine the water, butter, and sugar in a saucepan and bring it to a boil while stirring it.
  2. Then, lower it to medium, continue to stir, and cook for 10-13 minutes until it reaches 300 F on a candy thermometer.
  3. Then, quickly pour the mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet and spread it out until it is 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Evenly pour the chocolate chips over the toffee mixture, wait 1 minute until they start to soften, and then spread that on top of the toffee mixture to create another layer.
  5. Finally, add the chop nuts to the top of the layers and leave it out for 1 hour to harden completely. Cut into squares and enjoy!
