Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet with aluminum foil, greased lightly with non-stick spray.

  7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle Ghirardelli white chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee.
  8. After a few minutes, spread the softened chocolate evenly over the toffee layer.
