Time 20m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips
½ cup white sugar
½ cup butter (no substitutes)
1 ½ cups chopped hazelnuts
2 tablespoons light corn syrup

Steps:

  • Line a 9 inch square pan with enough aluminum foil to extend a little past the edges, and butter the foil.
  • Place chocolate chips in a glass bowl, and cook in the microwave, stirring every 20 to 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Spread the melted chocolate in the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside in the refrigerator to cool while you make the candy part.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, hazelnuts and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring to blend as the butter melts. Heat the mixture to 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball.
  • Pour over the cooled chocolate, and spread into an even layer. Return to the refrigerator to cool. When completely cool, break into bite size pieces, and store in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your toffee. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a rich, dark flavor.
  • Toast the hazelnuts: Toasting the hazelnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the toffee from burning.
  • Have all of your ingredients prepared before you start cooking: This will help to ensure that your toffee is cooked evenly and does not burn.
  • Cook the toffee over medium heat: Cooking the toffee over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning and will give it a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Stir the toffee constantly: Stirring the toffee constantly will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Test the toffee for doneness: The toffee is done when it reaches a temperature of 300 degrees Fahrenheit or when a small amount of the toffee dropped into cold water forms a hard ball.
  • Pour the toffee onto a greased baking sheet: Pouring the toffee onto a greased baking sheet will help to prevent it from sticking.
  • Let the toffee cool completely before breaking it into pieces: This will help to prevent the toffee from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Chocolate hazelnut toffee is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, crunchy hazelnuts, and buttery toffee base, this candy is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate hazelnut toffee a try.
