How To Make chocolate toffee

• Step 1
  Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup of cream in a large saucepan set over moderate heat.
• Step 2
  Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
• Step 3
  Insert a candy thermometer, reduce the heat to low, and cook the syrup, stirring frequently, until the thermometer registers 238.
• Step 4
  Blend in another 1/2 cup of the cream, which will cause the temperature to drop, and continue to cook and stir until the thermometer reaches 236 or until a bit of the hot toffee dropped into a little cold water forms a soft, pliable ball.
• Step 5
  Mix in the remaining 1/2 cup cream and the melted chocolate.
• Step 6
  Cook the toffee, stirring constantly, lest it scorch.
• Step 7
  Cook toffee until the mixture becomes quite thick: A drop of it should firm up quickly in cold water.
• Step 8
  NOTE: Even though the temperature of the toffee may not exceed 230, if it firms in cold water, remove the pan from the heat at once.
• Step 9
  Quickly mix in the vanilla and salt, then pour the toffee into a well-buttered 8x8x2 inch pan.
• Step 10
  Cool the toffee completely, then cut it into 1-inch squares.
• Step 11
  Wrap each one in waxed paper or plastic wrap.
