Creamy peanut butter, buttery toffee, rich chocolate and sea salt merry beautifully together in this SUPER SIMPLE candy. Perfect for Christmas gift-giving!
Ingredients
2 sticks butter
1 cup white sugar
¾ cup chopped peanuts
¾ cup toffee bits About
1 cup peanut butter chips
About 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Sea salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8" pan with foil, allowing the sides of the foil to extend over the edges of the pan. Lightly mist the foil with cooking spray. Sprinkle the bottom of the pan evenly with the chopped peanuts and the toffee bits. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and sugar over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, and stir the mixture constantly until it turns a caramel-y, light brown color (about 7-10 minutes).
Spread the toffee mixture evenly on top of the toffee/peanut mixture. Allow the toffee to set--at room temperature--about an hour or two.
Melt the peanut butter chips in the microwave until smooth and melted (about 60-90 seconds, stirring every so often). Pour the pb chips over the toffee layer and smooth evenly. Pop the toffee in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
Now, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth. Pour the chocolate over the peanut butter layer evenly and immediately sprinkle with sea salt (I went heavier on the salt, but adjust according to your preferences). Pop the toffee back into the fridge to set for about a half hour or so, or just until the chocolate has hardened.
Break the toffee into pieces and serve. This can be stored for up to a week, airtight at room temperature.
