Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped almonds or pecans
Instructions
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sugar together, stirring constantly. Cook until the mixture turns golden brown and pulls away from the pan edges (about 10 minutes).
3. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract and salt.
4. Pour hot toffee onto prepared sheet and spread evenly.
5. Immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over hot toffee. Let sit until melted, then spread smooth.
6. Top with chopped nuts and gently press them into the chocolate.
7. Allow bark to cool completely until chocolate is firm. Refrigerate to speed up the process.
8. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
Notes
Use a heavy-bottomed pan to avoid burning the sugar.
Chill the bark in the fridge for quicker setting and cleaner breaks.
