Butter toffee is a sweet confection made primarily from sugar, butter, and nuts, typically almonds or pecans. The mixture is cooked until it reaches a hard crack stage, resulting in a crunchy texture. Once cooled, it can be broken into pieces and often coated with chocolate or sprinkled with sea salt for added flavor. This treat is popular during the holiday season and is often packaged as gifts. Butter toffee can be enjoyed on its own or used as a topping for desserts like ice cream. Its rich, buttery flavor combined with a hint of sweetness makes it a favorite among candy lovers.
