Toffee Ingredients
- 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter

Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and water in a medium-sized pan.
- Bring to a Boil: Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Whisk Frequently: Continuously whisk the mixture to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

Notes
- Use a candy thermometer if available to ensure precise cooking temperature for toffee (around 285°F or 140°C).
- Be cautious while handling hot sugar mixtures to avoid burns.
