Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds unsalted, roughly chopped
- 2 cups butter salted
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup almonds unsalted, finely chopped
Instructions
- Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper or with a silicone baking mat.
- Sprinkle the chopped almonds over the bottom of the prepared pan. They won’t cover the surface of the pan. Set aside.
- Add the butter and sugar to a large, heavy saucepan.
- Melt the butter over low heat, stirring regularly.
- Once the butter has melted, increase the heat to medium-low, and bring the butter mixture to a boil. Occasionally gently stir the toffee mixture.
- Cook until the toffee mixture is 295-300 degrees F (hard crack stage). The toffee mixture should be rich amber brown (check out the pictures above the recipe for reference).
- Carefully pour the toffee mixture over the nuts in the prepared pan. Use a silicone spatula to spread out the toffee as needed.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top.
- Let the chocolate chips stand for about 5 minutes to begin to melt.
- Carefully spread the melted chocolate chips over the top of the toffee with an offset spatula, and sprinkle with the chopped nuts, if using.
- Let the toffee sit until it has set.
- Break into pieces to serve.
Notes
- Almonds: I use unsalted almonds to better control how salty the toffee is.
- Salted butter: I like to use salted butter in this recipe. If you're using unsalted butter, you'll need to add 1 teaspoon of salt along with the butter and sugar.
- Sugar: You'll need granulated sugar (white sugar) for this recipe.
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips: You can use dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips if you prefer. The chocolate layer is fairly thin, so if you like a thick layer of chocolate on your toffee, increase the amount of chocolate chips.
