Gather all ingredients. Line a 13x9-inch high-rimmed baking pan with parchment paper or foil. Coat the parchment or foil with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
- 2
In a 6-quart heavy-bottomed pan, combine the carrot juice, sugar, honey, and kosher salt. Stir to mix. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally (this should take 4 to 5 minutes).
- 3
Attach a candy thermometer to the pan, ensuring the bulb is immersed in the candy mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), 20 to 25 minutes. The temperature rises very quickly during the last few minutes of cooking.
- 4
Watch closely during this time as the mixture foams up. If it foams to the top of the pan, stir vigorously to reduce the foam.
- 5
Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla. Working quickly, add the baking soda and whisk just until combined. (Avoid overmixing, as this will deflate the bubbles.)
- 6
Pour onto the prepared pan and use a rubber scraper to transfer the candy mixture to the pan. (Do not spread it out; it is fine if the top of the candy mixture is uneven.) Let cool until set, about 1 hour.
- 7
Break into pieces. Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
