Time 1h20m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups butter
2 cups white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup finely chopped almonds

Steps:

  • In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.
  • While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. Putting a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
  • Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.

BUTTER ALMOND TOFFEE



Butter Almond Toffee image

As with making any candy stirring and watching the candy thermometer is a bit labor-intensive, but so worth it. You definitely taste the love. This is a little softer than the average toffee and the almonds add a nice crunch. The toffee would make a great holiday gift!

Provided by Martha Benner

Categories     Candies

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c chopped, roasted almonds
1 c regular sugar
1/3 c brown sugar, lightly packed
2 Tbsp water
1/2 tsp baking soda
6 oz semisweet or milk chocolate chips
1 c butter or oleo margarine

Steps:

  • 1. Sprinkle half of the almonds and half of the chips on a buttered 9x13" pan.
  • 2. Melt butter, add sugars and water; mix and bring to a boil, stirring constantly and cook to hard crack (300 degrees) stage. I always use a candy thermometer.
  • 3. Remove from heat, stir in soda, working fast, pour over nuts and chips in pan, sprinkle other 1/2 of nuts and chips over the candy. Spread it out.
  • 4. Cool and break into pieces. Keeps well in a covered dish in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the toffee from burning.
  • Cook the toffee over medium heat: This will help to prevent it from burning and allow it to cook evenly.
  • Stir the toffee constantly: This will help to prevent it from burning and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Use a candy thermometer: This will help you to know when the toffee has reached the correct temperature.
  • Work quickly once the toffee has reached the correct temperature: The toffee will start to set quickly, so you need to work quickly to pour it into the prepared pan.
  • Let the toffee cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent it from breaking.

Conclusion:

Buttery almond toffee is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its buttery flavor, crunchy texture, and sweet almond taste, this toffee is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this buttery almond toffee a try.
