Ingredients

1. 4 oz unsalted butter
2. 1 cup granulated sugar
3. 1 tsp kosher salt
4. 1 cup chopped toasted nuts or seeds, optional
5. 1 tsp seasoning (cinnamon, ginger, etc.), optional

Instructions

1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a small sauce pan, combine the butter, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, until golden and bubbly, 5-7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the nuts or seeds and optional seasoning with a heatproof rubber spatula. Pour onto the prepared cookie sheet.
3. Allow the toffee to cool completely before breaking into chunks or chopping. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks. Makes about 2 cups of finely chopped toffee.
4. If using in a cake filling, finely chop the toffee and sprinkle onto a cake layer that's been topped with buttercream or another creamy filling. Top the creamy, crunchy filing with another layer of cake.
