CHOCOLATE TOFFEE
Notes about the recipe: I'm always searching for the perfect crunchy toffee that's not sticking to your teeth once you bite into it, and I think I have it here! I serve this on my elaborate petit-four cart as one of 12 treats at the end of the very long meal at my restaurant Tru. I have recently discovered (and become totally addicted to) the marvelous Marcona almond, the favorite of Spanish chefs and tapas-lovers. I nibble them with wine before dinner; I add them to salads; I serve them with cheese; and I stick them into every dessert I can - sometimes all in one day! Marconas are tender and toasty, never hard and dry like some supermarket almonds: you can buy them online at www.tienda.com. This combination of almonds with crunchy toffee and bittersweet chocolate is fantastic. You'll be amazed that you made it - and so will any friends that you give it to. It makes a great holiday gift.

Steps:
- Line a sided sheet pan with a silicone baking mat, or oil it well with vegetable oil (or use a heavyweight nonstick sheet pan).
- Pour the sugar into the center of a saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Pour the water around the edge of the pan and wait to allow the water to moisten the sugar. (You can draw a clean finger through the center of the pan to allow some water to seep in.) Add the corn syrup and bring to a boil. Add the butter and boil until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F.
- Turn off the heat and whisk in the cocoa; then stir in the nuts. Quickly pour the mixture onto the center of the prepared pan and let it spread out - it may not reach the sides of the pan. Set aside to cool at room temperature until hard. Using your hands (I wear gloves to avoid fingerprints), pry the toffee out of the pan and break into large pieces. Store in an airtight container. The toffee will keep well for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Combine the peanut butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer, adding about 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar at a time, until all the sugar is incorporated and the mixture is stiff and dry to the touch. Mix the toffee by hand.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls (about 32) and place on plates. Insert a toothpick into the center of each ball and freeze until firm, 1 hour.
- Once the balls are frozen, put the chopped chocolate in a small, heat-safe bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan filled with 1/2 inch of barely simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water) and heat, stirring, until melted. Remove the balls from the freezer and, one at a time, dip them in the chocolate, leaving a small round of peanut butter still visible. Let the excess chocolate drip off before returning the balls to the plate. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Remove the toothpick before serving.

CHOCOLATE-TOFFEE CRUNCH LAYER CAKE
This layered cake is pure chocolate confection. Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ chocolate cake mix gets an extra chocolaty plus-up from the addition of chocolate pudding before baking. A from-scratch dangerously good dark chocolate buttercream frosting covers the three layers of cake. The special addition that takes this dessert to the next level? A toffee bits crunch that's sprinkled among the frosting in between the cake layers, and then piled atop the cake. For an extra-fun touch, we added small frosting stars piped around the edges of the top of the cake! It's a truly over-the-top chocolate dessert that makes a gorgeous centerpiece, and makes any chocolate-loving guest very happy.

CHOCOLATE CRUNCHIES
I took this recipe from Good Food Cakes, Bakes and Chocolate. They are very rich and never stay in my house for long. They will keep for up to a week wrapped in foil. Cooking time is actually chilling time.

Tips:
- To ensure the toffee layer is perfectly smooth and creamy, be sure to stir it continuously while cooking. Keep an eye on the temperature, as it can easily burn if overcooked.
- For a crispier toffee layer, spread it out thinly on the prepared baking sheet. For a softer, chewier toffee, spread it out thicker.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the toffee layer while it is still hot and pliable. This will help them to melt and adhere to the toffee.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the toffee for doneness by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a hard, brittle ball, it is ready.
- Once the chocolate-toffee crunchies have completely cooled and hardened, break them into pieces and store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Enjoy the chocolate-toffee crunchies as a sweet and crunchy snack, or use them to decorate desserts like cakes, ice cream, and cupcakes.
Conclusion:
Chocolate-toffee crunchies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these crunchy, chocolatey treats that will satisfy your sweet tooth. Whether you enjoy them as a snack, use them to decorate desserts, or give them as gifts, chocolate-toffee crunchies are sure to be a hit.
