Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, extending beyond the edges for easy removal.
  • Combine Butter and Sugar: Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of salt over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  • Reach the Candy Temperature: Stir until the mixture reaches 290°F, observing the change to a thick, amber texture.
  • Add Vanilla and Almonds: Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and half of the chopped almonds.
  • Pour the Toffee: Pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading into an even layer.
  • Melt the Chocolate: Sprinkle 1 cup of chocolate chips over the toffee and let sit for a minute.
  • Spread the Chocolate: Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee.
  • Top with Almonds: Sprinkle remaining chopped almonds over the melted chocolate.
  • Cool the Toffee: Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes.
  • Break into Pieces: Break the cooled toffee into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a knife.

Notes

Watch the temperature and stir consistently to prevent burning. Customize with different nuts as desired.
