Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup pistachio
- 2 tbsp water
- ½ cup butter
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup white sugar organic, organic for vegan-friendly
- ¼ cup brown sugar organic
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 5 oz dark chocolate
Instructions
- Spread a cup of mixed nuts at the bottom of a parchment paper-covered baking pan or tray.
- In a small saucepan (on which you have installed a candy thermometer) heat the water, butter, salt, and sugars. Cook gently, until the thermometer reads 300°F (150°C). ATTENTION: the temperature will rise very quickly, so be attentive.
- Remove from the heat immediately and add the vanilla (be careful, the mixture may splash a bit) and the baking soda.
- Using a small spatula, promptly transfer the caramel to your nuts at the bottom of the pan.
- Without waiting too long, spread the pieces of chocolate on the top of the caramel. Let the chocolate rest (& melt) for 2 minutes, then spread the chocolate over the nutty caramel in a thin layer.
- Cover the chocolatey caramel with the other half of the grated nuts and press lightly with the palm of your hand to insert them a little into the caramel.
- Let the toffee cool completely and break into pieces to serve.
