16 tablespoons (1 cup) unsalted butter

# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper large enough to cover the sides.

06 -
Remove from oven and immediately scatter the white chocolate chips over the warm toffee. Let sit until they begin to melt.
07 -
Using an offset spatula, spread the melted white chocolate into an even layer. If using gel dye, mix it into the melted chocolate, then quickly sprinkle festive candies or sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets.
08 -
Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight until fully hardened.
