Hi Bold Bakers! My homemade English toffee is a triple threat! Easy to make, a great edible gift around the holidays, and so absolutely delicious you may not want to give it away! It’s one of the easiest homemade candies you can make, and who doesn’t love Old Fashioned English Toffee! Already have an account? Ever have a Heath bar? Or in Europe, a Daim bar? After you make this recipe, I don’t think you’ll impulse buy one of them at the checkout line at your grocery store again! This homemade English toffee is chocolatey, nutty, and has the most amazing dark caramel at the bottom. It’s not a chewy caramel either; it has a nice crisp bite. A bit of advice: don’t be shy with that vanilla and salt. They add such an incredible flavor to this candy! And, if you love toffee, why not try my recent Sticky Toffee Pudding recipe? If candy is what you’re after, you have to try my Apple Cider Caramels and my Homemade Caramel Candies.
What Is English Toffee?
If you’ve had a Heath or Daim bar, then you have a vague idea of what English Toffee should taste like! Toffee is a candy that is made by caramelizing sugar and butter. Then, I cover the crisp toffee with chocolate and toasted nuts! It’s incredibly addicting.

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making English Toffee
You don’t want to keep the toffee in the fridge for too long, as the toffee will become damp and not crispy. Do NOT be shy with the salt and vanilla — they add great flavor! I use milk chocolate in this recipe to resemble a Daim and Heath bar, but feel free to use dark chocolate! For maximum flavor, be sure to toast the nuts before adding them on top of the wet chocolate?
How Do I Store English Toffee?
You can store leftover toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
