In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add granulated sugar, corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously to combine.

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue cooking until the temperature reaches around 240°F (115°C), which is the soft-ball stage. This stage ensures a chewy toffee consistency.

Once the mixture heats up, remove it from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the hot toffee mixture into the prepared pan.

Let the toffee cool at room temperature for a while. Place it in the refrigerator to fully set. Once the toffee has fully set, use a sharp knife to cut it into bite-sized pieces. If it sticks to the knife, you can dip the knife in hot water to make cutting easier.
