Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup Prevents crystallization
  • 2/3 cup semisweet (or dark) chocolate chips Use a high-quality chopped chocolate bar for a silkier finish
  • Holiday sprinkles for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add sugar, water, and light corn syrup, stirring just until combined.
  4. Clip a candy thermometer to the pan and bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly to prevent hot spots and burning.
Cooking
  1. Continue cooking, stirring, until the mixture reaches 300°F (149°C) — the hard-crack stage.
  2. Immediately pour the hot toffee onto the prepared parchment and spread it to an even layer (about 1/8–1/4 inch thick).
  3. Let the toffee sit for 30–60 seconds, then sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the warm toffee and let them melt for about 1–2 minutes.
  4. Use an offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer.
  5. Scatter holiday sprinkles on top while the chocolate is still warm.
  6. Cool completely at room temperature for about 1–2 hours until set, then break into pieces.
