I was trying to use up a large jar of almond butter and these were the result. They are good with jam on top, if you prefer things a little bit sweeter.

Time 1h

Yield 20-24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 cups real butter
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 2/3 cups sugar
6 tablespoons water
8 ounces milk chocolate candy bars, melted (like Hershey bars)
2 1/2 cups sliced almonds, toasted
2/3 cup toasted almond, finely chopped

Steps:

Melt butter in a heavy 4 quart saucepan. Add sugar syrup and water.
Cook mixture, stirring often to hard crack stage (300F on a candy thermometer and medium golden brown)
Watch carefully after syrup reaches 230F - do not over cook - it will scorch! - do not under cook - it will not be brittle. Test in cold water - it will be of brittle texture.
Quickly stir in the sliced toasted almonds. Turn out on large ungreased cookie sheet or jelly roll pan.
Melt chocolate in double boiler over hot water.
After candy sets, spread with melted chocolate.
Sprinkle finely chopped almonds over soft chocolate.
Chill entire candy; then break into sizable pieces.

Tips:

To ensure the toffee doesn't stick to the pan, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Use a candy thermometer to accurately measure the temperature of the sugar mixture. This will help prevent the toffee from becoming too hard or too soft.
When adding the butter and salt to the sugar mixture, stir constantly to prevent the mixture from curdling.
Pour the toffee mixture onto a prepared baking sheet in a thin layer. This will help it cool and harden more quickly.
Once the toffee has cooled, break it into pieces using a sharp knife or kitchen shears.
Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

With its rich, buttery flavor and crunchy texture, butter almond toffee is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a sweet snack to enjoy with your family or a homemade gift to give to friends, this toffee recipe is sure to please.
