1. First, line a large baking sheet with a silicon baking mat and set it close to the stove. (You CAN use foil like Ghirardelli recommends, but I think the baking mat is much easier–and it’s reusable/better for the planet.)
2. Now, put the butter, sugar, water and salt in a heavy duty saucepan and heat over medium heat. As the butter melts, stir the mixture together well. Stir several times until the mixture comes to a full, rolling boil.
3. Now that it’s boiling, STOP stirring and just watch the yellow bubbles cook over medium heat for about 10 – 11 minutes. A couple times (no more than three) during this time, you can run a rubber scraper over the bottom of the pan (a very gentle stir) to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom.
4. Once it starts to turn brown, don’t touch it. Just watch until all the yellowness turns to brown–this will happen quite quickly. As soon as it looks like it’s all a proper toffee colored brown (when the candy thermometer says 305, if you’re using a thermometer), that’s when you remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla. (Be careful, it might sputter a bit!)

1. Line a baking sheet with foil. If you'd like to have nuts in your toffee, toss a handful of almonds onto the baking sheet. Set aside.
2. Heat all of your ingredients (except for the nuts and chocolate) in a nice sturdy saucepan on med heat until butter is melted. Turn temp up to med-high and stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
3. Set your timer for 5 minutes and DO NOT let ANYTHING disturb you while you stir. You must keep stirring your butter/sugar mixture so that it does not burn. And you must use a WOODEN spoon.
4. Keep stirring until your timer goes off. It may even smoke a tiny bit and that is ok. If you are really concerned, lift you pan off of the burner (while you are still stirring) to remove it from the heat, but still stir until your timer goes off.
