Ingredients
1 1/4
c.
(2 1/2 sticks) butter
1 1/4
c.
granulated sugar
1/2
tsp.
pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
1 1/2
c.
semisweet chocolate chips
1/2
c.
toasted chopped pecans
Flaky sea salt, for garnish
Directions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat add butter and let melt. Add sugar then let dissolve and bring to a boil, then cook, whisking constantly to combine the butter and sugar, until mixture turns a soft caramel color and is thick, about 4 minutes. (A candy thermometer should read 290°.)
- Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt. Working quickly, pour toffee mixture into silicone ice tray, about 1 teaspoonful in each cube, and immediately top each square with about 10 chocolate chips. Let sit 2 minutes so chocolate begins to melt, then spread chocolate all over with the back of a spoon to create a layer on top of toffee.
- Sprinkle all over with pecans and flaky sea salt.
- Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes, and twist ice trays to pop bites out. Serve or place in small bags for gifts.
