¼ tsp. sea salt
instructions
Salted Toffee
1. Prepare a 9×13″ pan by lining it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, add the coconut sugar and coconut nectar. On medium-high heat, cook until the coconut sugar dissolves, stirring constantly.
3. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture becomes slightly thickened and caramel-like.
4. Remove from heat, and whisk in the almond butter, vanilla extract and sea salt.
5. Spread the mixture in a very thin layer on the parchment lined pan.
6. Place in freezer for about 60 minutes.
7. Remove from freezer; toffee will be firm but not crispy. Using a hot knife, chop the toffee into chunks. Return them to the freezer while you prepare the Coconut Manna Fudge.
