I don't live in the country, but I love everything about itespecially good old-fashioned home cooking! Every year, you'll find me at our County Fair, entering a different recipe contest. I find new recipes everywhereespecially in my large cookbook collection. This toffee, however, comes from the heart . It's been a favorite in my family since I was a little girl! Ingredients:
2 cups whole unblanched almonds (about 10 ounces), divided |
11 ounces milk chocolate, divided |
2 sticks sweet butter |
1 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons cold water |
Directions:
1. Spread almonds in a pan and toast in 350° oven for about 10 minutes, shaking pan occasionally. Cool nuts. Grind milk chocolate fine in food processor- do not over process. Set aside.
2. Chop nuts coarse in food processor. Sprinkle 1 cup nuts over bottom of greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. jelly roll pan. Sprinkle 1 cup ground chocolate over nuts. Set aside.
3. In heavy saucepan, combine butter, sugar and water; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 290° (soft-crack stage).
4. Very quickly pour mixture over nuts and chocolate. Sprinkle remaining chocolate over toffee; top with remaining nuts. Chill and break into pieces. Yield: about 2 lbs.
