- 1 cup 227g Butter (salted or unsalted)
- 1/2 cup 100g Allulose or keto brown sugar
- 1 cup 170g Keto chocolate chips (Lily’s or ChocZero)
- 1/4 cup 30g Raw almonds, finely chopped
- Optional: Flaky sea salt for sprinkling 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, pinch of cinnamon
Prepare Your Workspace: Line an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper and evenly distribute chopped almonds across the bottom.
Create the Toffee Base: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt butter and combine with allulose over low heat. Stir gently until the butter is fully melted and the allulose dissolves. Use a candy thermometer and continue stirring until the mixture reaches 300°F (149°C) for the hard crack stage.
Pour and Set: Remove from heat once the correct temperature is reached. Stir for 30 seconds, then pour the toffee mixture evenly over the prepared almonds. Allow the toffee to cool for 3-5 minutes until the glossy appearance fades.
Add the Chocolate Layer: Sprinkle keto chocolate chips over the warm toffee and cover the pan with aluminum foil. Let it sit for 5 minutes to gently melt the chocolate. Spread the melted chocolate into an even layer with a spatula. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
Final Chill and Break: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm. Once set, lift the toffee out using the parchment paper and break into irregular pieces.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks for optimal freshness. For long-term storage, freeze the pieces for up to 3 months. Alternative Nuts: Replace almonds with toasted coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds if desired.
