Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or almonds (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare a Pan: Line a baking sheet or a 9×9-inch square pan with parchment paper. Make sure it overhangs on two sides for easy removal.
- Melt Butter: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Add Sweetener: Stir in the erythritol (or your chosen keto sweetener), water, and salt. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture turns a rich golden brown and reaches about 300ยฐF (150ยฐC) on a candy thermometer. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
- Stir in Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract. Be cautious as it may bubble up.
- Pour into Pan: Pour the toffee mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
- Add Chocolate and Nuts: Immediately sprinkle the sugar-free chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Allow them to sit for a minute to soften, and then use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly. If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans or almonds over the chocolate.
- Cool and Set: Let the toffee cool and set at room temperature for a few hours or until it’s firm. You can speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator.
- Break into Pieces: Once set, use a knife to break the toffee into pieces.
Note: This Keto English Toffee offers the perfect blend of sweet, buttery, and crunchy goodness, all within your keto dietary limits.
