Scale

- 1 cup granulated erythritol or your preferred low-carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or almonds)
- 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the sugar-free chocolate chips over the hot toffee.
- Let them sit for a few minutes to melt, then spread the melted chocolate evenly over the surface.
- Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
- Once set, break the toffee into pieces and serve.
Notes
- For a festive touch, consider adding a sprinkle of crushed peppermint candy on top of the chocolate before it sets.
- You can substitute the nuts with your favorite seeds for a nut-free version.
