Steps:
- Line a 9 inch square pan with enough aluminum foil to extend a little past the edges, and butter the foil.
- Place chocolate chips in a glass bowl, and cook in the microwave, stirring every 20 to 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Spread the melted chocolate in the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside in the refrigerator to cool while you make the candy part.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, hazelnuts and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring to blend as the butter melts. Heat the mixture to 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball.
- Pour over the cooled chocolate, and spread into an even layer. Return to the refrigerator to cool. When completely cool, break into bite size pieces, and store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick silicone liner and coat it with cooking spray. Set aside.
- On another baking sheet, roast the hazelnuts until fragrant, 10 minutes. Remove them to a plate.
- Combine the butter, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, whisking until melted. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the mixture registers 300 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Immediately remove from the heat and stir in the hazelnuts. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and smooth with an offset spatula. Let dry for about 1 1/2 minutes, then scatter the chocolate chips on top. As they melt, spread the chocolate to the outer edges of the toffee with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with sea salt and freeze until set, about 30 minutes. Peel the toffee away from the silicone liner and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into pieces with a sharp knife. The toffee will keep, tightly covered, up to 1 week.

HAZELNUT TOFFEE
Steps:
- 1. Spread the chopped nuts on a cookie sheet and toast in 350 deg F oven for 10-15 min, stirring often. Watch carefully so they don't burn. 2. In a pot with a candy thermometer, melt the butter and add the sugar, corn syrup, and salt. 3. Stir frequently and cook the sugar until it reaches 285 deg F. This may take about 20 min. 4. Remove the pot from the heat and add the vanilla (if using it), then the nuts. Stir the mixture very well. You can place the pot back on the burner set to low to mix. 5. Spread the toffee on a cookie sheet (I like to have parchment on the sheet but you don't have to). A rubber spatula helps to push the toffee out flat and evenly. 6. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, 30-45 sec at a time, stirring well each time until just melted and smooth. Spread this on top of the toffee. 7. Let the toffee cool and harden. This takes about 2-3 hours at room temperature, but you could put it in the freezer to speed it up. 8. Cut the toffee with a heavy sharp knife and store in an airtight container with wax paper.
Tips:
- Use fresh hazelnuts for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh hazelnuts, you can use roasted hazelnuts, but they won't have as much flavor.
- Toast the hazelnuts before using them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make the toffee. This will help to prevent the toffee from burning.
- Cook the toffee over medium heat. If you cook it over too high heat, it will burn.
- Stir the toffee constantly while it is cooking. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Once the toffee has reached the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the toffee over the hazelnuts and spread it out evenly.
- Let the toffee cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
Conclusion:
Hazelnut toffee is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It can be enjoyed on its own, or it can be used as a topping for ice cream, cakes, or pies. With its rich, nutty flavor and crunchy texture, hazelnut toffee is sure to please everyone.
