Time 1h10m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/3 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup slivered almonds
1/3 cup cashew halves and pieces
1/2 packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil. Spread nuts in pan. Bake uncovered 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light brown. Pour into small bowl; set aside. Set aside pan with foil to use in step 3.
  • Meanwhile, in heavy 2-quart saucepan, cook sugars, butter and water over medium-high heat 4 to 6 minutes, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until mixture comes to a full boil. Boil 20 to 25 minutes, stirring frequently, until candy thermometer reaches 300°F or small amount of mixture dropped into ice water forms a hard brittle strand.
  • Stir in 1/2 cup of the nuts; immediately pour toffee into same foil-lined pan. Quickly spread mixture to 1/4-inch thickness with rubber spatula. Sprinkle with chocolate chips; let stand about 1 minute or until chips are completely softened. Spread softened chocolate evenly over toffee. Sprinkle with remaining nuts.
  • Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until chocolate is firm. Break into pieces. Store in tightly covered container.
