Creating Classic Christmas Toffee is an enjoyable experience if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside.
2. Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter completely.
3. Add Sugar and Water: Stir in the granulated sugar and water. Mix until combined.
4. Cook the Mixture: Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue cooking until it reaches a deep caramel color, about 15-20 minutes.
5. Add Vanilla and Salt: Once the desired color is reached, remove from heat, and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
6. Pour the Mixture: Quickly pour the toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading evenly.
7. Sprinkle Nuts: While still warm, generously sprinkle the chopped nuts over the toffee, pressing them down slightly to adhere.
8. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
9. Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the nuts and toffee layer, spreading it evenly.
10. Cool Completely: Allow the toffee to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for about 30 minutes until hardened.
11. Break into Pieces: Once firm, break the toffee into pieces of desired size.

With each step, your kitchen will be filled with mouthwatering scents, making the wait to enjoy this Classic Christmas Toffee feel even longer!
