½ cup butter or margarine
1 ¼ teaspoons Diamond Crystal® Sea Salt, divided
1 cup sugar
¼ cup water
¾ cup coarsely chopped cashews, divided
¾ cup milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate

Steps:

  • Butter the top edges of a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole. Add butter, 1 teaspoon of the Diamond Crystal® Sea Salt, sugar, and water to the casserole. DO NOT STIR.

Categories     Chocolate     Nut

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 1/4 teaspoons (divided) sea salt (e.g. Diamond Crystal Sea Salt)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup (divided) cashews, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips or milk chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Butter the top edges of a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole. Add butter, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, sugar, and water to the casserole. DO NOT STIR. Microwave on high for 6 to 8 minutes. Check contents for color change. Continue microwaving on high a minute at a time until the mixture just begins to turn a tan color. You need to watch it carefully, and remember: DON'T STIR.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the chopped cashews into a 9-into circle on a Silpat mat, parchment paper, or on a buttered baking sheet.
  • Carefully pour the liquid mixture evenly over the top of the cashews. Immediately sprinkle on the chocolate chips. Allow to sit for 1 minute to melt the chocolate.
  • Use spatula to smooth out chocolate over the entire sheet of candy.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cashews and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt over the top. Refrigerate to cool completely. When cool, break into bite-sized pieces. Store tightly covered in refrigerator.
  • Note: If the butter releases from the toffee, it probably cooked a bit too long. When it happens I just tilt the pan so that the butter runs away from the toffee before it cools.
  • Note: Works well with other nuts and chocolate combinations also.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy saucepan to prevent scorching the sugar.
  • Stir the sugar mixture constantly to prevent crystallization.
  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar reaches the correct temperature.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat as soon as the sugar reaches the desired temperature.
  • Be careful when adding the butter and cream to the hot sugar mixture, as it may spatter.
  • Stir the mixture until the butter and cream are completely incorporated.
  • Pour the toffee mixture onto a prepared baking sheet and let it cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
  • Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
