We topped our buttery toffee with chopped whole almonds to add extra crunch. If you use other nuts, toast them first. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/4 cup water |
4 tablespoons butter, softened |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
dash of salt |
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped |
1/2 cup chopped whole almonds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a small, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring just until combined; bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 325° or until syrup begins to caramelize. Stir in vanilla and salt. Working carefully and quickly, pour sugar mixture onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper; spread to desired thickness. Let toffee stand 5 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate over warm toffee; let stand 5 minutes. Spread melted chocolate in a thin, even layer over toffee; immediately sprinkle with chopped almonds. Let stand 1 hour or until completely cool. Break toffee into pieces.
