How To Make chocolate toffee

• 1

  Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup of cream in a large saucepan set over moderate heat.
• 2

  Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves completely.
• 3

  Insert a candy thermometer, reduce the heat to low, and cook the syrup, stirring frequently, until the thermometer registers 238.
• 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.
• 5

  Mix in the remaining 1/2 cup cream and the melted chocolate.
• 6

  Cook the toffee, stirring constantly, lest it scorch.
• 7

  Cook toffee until the mixture becomes quite thick: A drop of it should firm up quickly in cold water.
• 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.
• 9

  Quickly mix in the vanilla and salt, then pour the toffee into a well-buttered 8x8x2 inch pan.
• 10

  Cool the toffee completely, then cut it into 1-inch squares.
• 11

  Wrap each one in waxed paper or plastic wrap.
