Tips:

Use good quality butter and chocolate for the best flavor.
Make sure the butter and chocolate are at room temperature before making the toffee.
Do not overcook the toffee. It should be a light golden brown color.
If you do not have a candy thermometer, you can test the toffee by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, it is ready.
Be careful when pouring the hot toffee onto the chocolate. It can spatter.
Let the toffee cool slightly before spreading it over the chocolate.
If you are using a springform pan, make sure to line it with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the dessert from the pan.
Chill the dessert for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set properly.

Conclusion:

Toffee crunch dessert is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover toffee or chocolate. This dessert is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
