This Pumpkin Spice Toffee is everything cozy and crave-worthy about fall, packed into one buttery, crunchy bite. Infused with warm pumpkin spice and topped with chocolate and chopped nuts, it’s an irresistible autumn treat that looks impressive but is surprisingly easy to make.
I started making this one chilly October night when I wanted something homemade to pair with my pumpkin spice latte. The toffee base came together in under 15 minutes, and once it cooled with its melty chocolate top and toasty nut finish—it was pure, crackly perfection.
Whether you’re making edible gifts, prepping for Halloween, or just need a fall-inspired snack for movie night, this pumpkin spice toffee delivers on flavor and crunch. Break it into shards and store it in a tin—it keeps beautifully.
If you love candied textures and warm spice blends, you’ll fall in love with this twist on traditional butter toffee. It’s festive, fragrant, and guaranteed to disappear fast.
