Salted Toffee Crunch Fudge with Dark Chocolate and Pecans
Ingredients
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120g) dark chocolate chips (at least 60% cocoa)
- 1/2 cup (60g) salted toffee bits
- 1/2 cup (60g) chopped pecans
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, heavy cream, and butter. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the fudge reaches 235°F on a candy thermometer.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly until it reaches 115°F.
- Melt the dark chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into the fudge mixture and stir until well combined.
- Stir in the salted toffee bits and chopped pecans. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
- Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the top of the fudge. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
- Cut into squares and serve. For a cleaner cut, dip the knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts.
