Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ½ sticks (10oz/284g) butter
1 ¼ cups (10oz/284g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup (4 ½ oz/128g) milk chocolate
⅓ cup (1 ½oz/43g) toasted chopped almonds
⅓ cup (1 ½oz/43g) toasted chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
  • Let the butter melt and sugar dissolve and then bring to a simmer, then cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, so the butter and sugar don't separate, until mixture turns dark amber, 15 - 20 minutes or 285ºF on a candy thermometer. Note: if your toffee is still pale at this temperature then continue to simmer until you reach the color in the video.
  • Pour toffee mixture into the prepared baking sheet and set aside to harden for 20 minutes.
  • Gently melt the chocolate and using a spatula spread it thinly and evenly over the hard candy. Sprinkle the chopped almonds and pecans all over the wet chocolate.
  • Refrigerate to JUST set the chocolate, about 1 hour. Then remove from the fridge and break into pieces and enjoy. Store the toffee at room temperature in an airtight container. Note: Don't store the toffee for too long in the fridge as it will make the toffee damp and not as crisp.

This candy tastes wonderful and takes about 15 minutes to make. My sister and I did three batches in an hour one year for Christmas. I use a cast iron skillet and some times just a few of the almonds to help gauge the readiness.
