Toffee Covered Strawberries - A little sweet, a little tart. That's what strawberries dipped in a silky, salted vanilla flavored toffee taste like. Need I say more?

Servings: 12 -14
- 1/4 cup half a stick Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
- large pinch Kosher salt
- large splash Vanilla extract
- About 12-14 - Medium to Large Strawberries
- Melted chocolate for drizzle, optional
Make the toffee:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
To a small saucepan, add the sugar, butter, kosher salt, and vanilla extract over medium/ low heat, stirring occasionally to incorporate ingredients and ensure you don’t end up with a greasy mess. Insert a candy thermometer and bring the mixture to 285° Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer. The mixture should be a nice, amber color.
Remove the pan from heat and working very quickly (AND CAREFULLY!) dip the strawberries one at a time into the toffee. Swirl around to cover the strawberries with toffee and then place on the parchment lined cookie sheet. Drizzle with melted chocolate, if desired.
The toffee will last about 2 hours before the condensation from the strawberries begin to soften the toffee. It’s not a bad thing, but thin hard toffee is everything.
