Ingredients

  • 140g unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 150g granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, gently melt the butter on a low heat. Once melted, add the salt and vanilla extract and stir with a wooden spoon.
  • Pour in the sugar and continue to stir to dissolve the sugar. Continue to stir the mixture for around 15 – 20 minutes or until the mixture resembles peanut butter.
  • Pour the mixture onto the previously lined baking tray and tilt the baking tray slightly in all directions to allow the toffee to spread evenly. You will need to work quickly as it will begin to solidify very quickly.
  • Set aside to cool down. Once the toffee has cooled, you can smash it with a toffee hammer or a rolling pin. You can even break it up relatively easy with your hands if you need larger pieces.
