I've been making this tasty toffee for more than 15 years, and everyone raves about it. Folks often think I bought it at a gourmet candy store! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon plus 1 cup butter, softened, divided |
1 cup whole unblanched almonds, coarsely chopped |
1 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup milk chocolate chips, melted |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Line an 11-in. x 7-in. pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 tablespoon butter. Arrange almonds evenly in pan; set aside.
2. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, salt and remaining butter. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until mixture is caramel-colored and a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage). Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Immediately pour over almonds. Cool completely.
3. Spread melted chocolate over toffee; sprinkle with walnuts. Let stand until set. Break into pieces. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 1-1/2 pounds.
