Cooking

  3. Pour the bubbling mixture over the nuts in the pan.
  4. Sprinkle the chocolate chips generously on top and allow it to sit for a few minutes.

Notes

Keep the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Layer pieces between parchment paper to prevent sticking. Use a splash of vanilla extract or espresso powder for added flavor.
