   Preheat the oven to 150°C (300ºfF). Line an 18x18cm baking tray with parchment paper.

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the dark chocolate until melted and smooth.

   Stir in the golden syrup toffees, flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl thoroughly.

5. 5

   Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top.

6. 6

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the toffee is set and the edges are golden brown.

   Tip: Avoid opening the oven door during the baking time.

7. 7

   Remove the toffee from the oven and sprinkle with dark chocolate chips.

   Tip: Let the chocolate set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before breaking into pieces.

   Once set, break the toffee into pieces and serve.
