Before becoming vegan, I baked a lot with store-bought toffee. When I couldn’t find a dairy-free version, I decided to learn how to make it myself. Now, I love making it at home, knowing exactly what’s in it and customizing the flavor for whatever recipe I’m using. The taste can be elevated by swapping the sugar for brown, dark brown, or muscovado, or by adding flavors like espresso powder, chai, or gingerbread spices. They are super easy to make, taking only 3 ingredients and 20 minutes of your time.

Have a parchment lined pan ready and waiting.
Melt the butter in a small pot on the stovetop over medium heat, once the butter is melted, add the sugar and stir the two together until smooth, well blended and the sugar is dissolve. This is where your slow, consistent stirring starts and does not stop.
The toffee will start to bubble, continue your slow, consistent stirring – if the toffee is going to separate, it usually does it at this point with me. If it does separate, remove it from the heat, add a tablespoon of water and stir vigorously until it comes back together. Return the pot to the stovetop continuing with your slow, consistent stirring.
The toffee will begin to bubble less and take on a smoother whipped look; some people describe it as looking a little like peanut butter. Just keep stirring slowly and consistently. Once it reaches this look, I start checking the temperature, it should be reaching 300F soon.
Once the toffee reaches 300F, remove the pot from the heat. Add the vanilla to the toffee and stir it in vigorously then pour onto a parchment lined pan to cool.
Once it has cooled and hardened, choose the kitchen tool of your choice to break it up into bits. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
This recipe yields one cup of toffee bits.
