Notes
I used a block of chocolate that is for candy making, I find it doesn't have a waxy coating like chocolate chips and tempers easily, so when the toffee is set up, the chocolate will no be soft at room temperature.
I used to place it in the fridge to speed up the process of cooling but found it didn't work as well as I thought. The chocolate can separate from the toffee.
