Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract For a glossier finish.
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, water, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the mixture reaches a boil.
  3. Continue to cook without stirring until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer.
  4. Pour the toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer.
  5. Allow the toffee to cool slightly, then sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Once melted, use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly.
  6. Finally, sprinkle with holiday sprinkles while the chocolate is still warm.
  7. Let the toffee cool completely before breaking it into pieces.

Notes

Store toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Layer with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking. If your kitchen is warm, keep it in a cool spot or refrigerate; cool storage can help chocolate remain firm but may slightly soften the crunch when returned to room temperature.
