Instructions:

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are measured and ready before starting the cooking process.
  2. Melt Butter: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir occasionally to ensure even melting.
  3. Add Sugar and Salt: Once the butter is melted, add granulated sugar and salt to the saucepan. Stir continuously to combine the ingredients.
  4. Cook the Mixture: Continue stirring the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a deep amber color. This process may take around 10-15 minutes. Be cautious to avoid burning.
  5. Heat Heavy Cream: In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it’s warm but not boiling.
  6. Add Cream to Caramel: Carefully pour the warm heavy cream into the caramelized sugar mixture. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble up. Stir continuously to combine.
  7. Cook Until Thickened: Allow the caramel to simmer and thicken for about 5-7 minutes. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
  8. Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the pure vanilla extract. Mix well to incorporate the vanilla flavor.
  9. Optional: Add Nuts: If desired, fold in chopped nuts of your choice (e.g., almonds, pecans) into the caramel mixture.
  10. Cool and Pour: Let the caramel toffee mixture cool for a few minutes before pouring it into a parchment-lined baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly.
  11. Set and Cut: Allow the caramel toffee to cool and set completely. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut it into desired shapes or break it into rustic pieces.
  12. Store: Store the homemade caramel toffee in an airtight container at room temperature. It can also be refrigerated for a longer shelf life.

Enjoy your delicious homemade caramel toffee! Perfect for gifting or satisfying your sweet cravings.
