Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter
- ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons molasses
- 2 ounces (60 mL) espresso, or strong brewed coffee
- 1 heavy pinch of flaky sea salt or kosher salt, plus more for topping, optional
- 1 cup (170 g) dark chocolate chips, or chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. The toffee will not fill a full 9×13-inch pan. Have your chocolate and any toppings ready before you begin.
- In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, molasses, coffee, and salt. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture reaches 250°F.
- Once it reaches 250°F, continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the temperature reaches 300°F, the hard-crack stage. The mixture will darken to a deep caramel color.
- Immediately and carefully pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet. Quickly spread it into an even layer to your desired thickness. The toffee will begin setting quickly.
- Let the toffee sit for about 1 minute. Sprinkle the chocolate evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened, then spread the chocolate into an even layer.
- If using, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the melted chocolate.
- Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature until firm. For faster cooling, you can refrigerate it.
- Once completely set, break the toffee into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
