Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon water

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 teaspoon Southern Star Dust seasoning

• 1 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or pecans), toasted

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Baking Sheet:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

1. Melt the Butter:

• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

1. Add Sugar and Seasoning:

• Add the granulated sugar, salt, water, and Southern Star Dust seasoning to the melted butter. Stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved.

1. Cook the Toffee:

• Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer (hard crack stage). The mixture should be a rich golden brown color.

1. Add Vanilla:

• Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

1. Spread the Toffee:

• Immediately pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

1. Add Chocolate and Nuts:

• Sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let them sit for a minute or two until they start to melt, then spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee.

• Sprinkle the toasted nuts over the melted chocolate, pressing them down gently to adhere.

1. Cool and Break:

• Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set.

• Once cooled, break the toffee into pieces.

1. Serve and Store:

• Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
