Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1¼ cups sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• ¼ cup chopped almonds (or nut of your choice)
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

• Take a jelly pan or (2) casserole dishes and line with parchment or butter very well. Set aside.
• To get started place your butter in a heavy saucepan over medium low heat.
• Once melted add the sugar and water and stir well.
• Increase the heat to medium high and bring the mixture to boil.
• Be very careful not to overcook!
• I continuously stir as the mixture bubbles up and gets a little frothy.
• Once the color of the mixture turns from yellow to a soft brown, immediately remove from heat and quickly pour into a casserole dish or jelly pan. This should be about 5 minutes and around 300 degrees on a candy thermometer.
• Use a spatula to evenly spread the mixture into your dish and you might bang it on the counter a few times to remove any bubbles.
• Now take your chocolate chips and place them in a double broiler or the microwave. Micro in 30 sec intervals until completely melted. If you prefer the double broiler, just remove once the chips are all creamy. I think a double broiler is worth the extra minute or two of effort to ensure the chocolate is perfectly smooth.
• Spoon evenly over the toffee mixture.
• Now add your chopped nuts to the top of the chocolate and gently press down with a spatula or spoon.
• You can also sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt over the top.
• Once the mixture has cooled slightly, place in the fridge to harden for about 1 hour.
• Use a knife to gently break the toffee apart and store in a sealed bag or container in the fridge.
