Ingredients
1stick butter8 tablespoons
1cupbrown sugar
1teaspoonsalt
Instructions
Prepare an 8-by-8-inch pan or dish by lining it with waxed or parchment paper.
Combine the butter, brown sugar and salt in a medium-sized skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Stir regularly, making sure everything is smooth and well-combined.
Continue stirring until the mixture reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer.
Once the mixture reaches 300 degrees, remove it from the heat and pour evenly into the lined pan.
Place the pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to let the toffee set up and harden.
Once the toffee is set up, remove it from the paper and then smash it into bite-sized pieces. (I used my meat mallet.) Store in an airtight container.
