    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • It’s rich, decadent and delicious.
    • It’s made with simple, tasty ingredients.
    • It’s easy to make.
    • Naturally gluten-free, vegetarian, soy-free, nut-free and can be made vegan or entirely refined sugar-free.

    How to Make Coconut Sugar Toffee

    You simply heat most of the ingredients on the stovetop, pour the mixture into a greased dish,  followed by topping with the chocolate, smoothing it over, sprinkling with a touch of shredded coconut, then popping it in the freezer to set! Easy peasy.

    How to Store

    This coconut sugar toffee candy will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    What are the health benefits of coconut sugar?

    Coconut sugar is a plant-based, unrefined sweetener rich in nutrients like iron and potassium, as well as a source of soluble fiber. While it is still sugar, it is a slightly healthier choice, and has a super delicious flavor, to boot!

    Top Tips

    • You can swap the coconut sugar for any granulated sweetener you have on hand or prefer to use.
    • You can make this candy all the sweeter by using semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips or dark or unsweetened chocolate chips for a slightly healthier take.
    • If you are on a vegan or dairy-free diet, swap the regular butter for the plant-based variety.
    • The shredded coconut just adds a touch of texture and flavor, but can be omitted if you prefer.
