Ingredients
1poundunsalted butter
2cupsgranulated sugar
2Tablespoonswhite syrup
4Tablespoonswater
1/2teaspoonkosher salt
16oz.dark chocolate bars
shelled sunflower seeds
kosher salt
Instructions
Spread parchment paper on a large baking sheet.
Attach a candy thermometer to the side of a heavy duty deep saucepan. Make sure the bottom of the thermometer is NOT touching the bottom of the pan.
Place the butter in the pan and turn heat to medium heat. Then add the sugar, white syrup, water, and salt - and continue cooking on medium eat.
Let the mixture cook, stirring occasionally, while the toffee mixture comes to a temperature of 305 degrees (Fahrenheit). This will take 25 minutes or so.
Watch the mixture very closely as the toffee cooks to avoid burning.
Carefully pour the toffee on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then place pieces of the chocolate bars on top. Let it sit for a bit as it starts to melt. Then use a spatula to spread out evenly.
Place the pan in the freezer for 45 minutes. Then remove and use your hands to break it apart in pieces.
Notes
IMPORTANT: Attach the candy thermometer to the side of the pan so that the bottom of the thermometer does NOT touch the bottom of the pan. If it touches the pan, it will register incorrectly and will likely burn.This toffee makes great holiday gifts. Place in tins and give!
