These homemade toffee bits are incredibly easy to make and taste far superior to store-bought versions. They're perfect for adding to cookies, brownies, or enjoying on their own!
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt. Stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil.
Continue to boil, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer (firm-ball stage).
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Pour the toffee onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Let cool completely before breaking into pieces.
Notes
Store toffee bits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
