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.

Yield Makes about 3 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for pan and foil
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
3 tablespoons water
2 cups toasted (about 8 ounces) almonds, chopped
12 ounces semisweet chocolate, tempered (technique follows)

Steps:

  • Butter a 12-by-18-inch baking pan. Cover two large cutting boards or cardboard pieces with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, corn syrup, and 3 tablespoons water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, stir in 1 cup almonds, and pour out into prepared pan, spreading the mixture with the back of a spoon to fill the pan.
  • Before candy hardens, but when it is firm enough to handle, turn it out onto parchment-lined board. Allow to cool completely.
  • Wipe the surface of candy with a damp paper towel to remove excess butter, and allow to dry.
  • Using a small offset spatula, quickly spread half the chocolate over candy. Scatter 1/2 cup of the remaining almonds over chocolate. Cover with parchment paper, and place second cutting board on paper. Turn candy over onto second surface. Remove top board and paper, quickly spread candy with remaining chocolate, and scatter with the remaining 1/2 cup almonds. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set chocolate.
  • Break candy into 2-inch pieces. The candy may be stored in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 1 week; use parchment paper to separate layers.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy saucepan. This will help to prevent the toffee from burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer. This is the best way to ensure that the toffee reaches the correct temperature.
  • Be careful not to overcook the toffee. Overcooked toffee will be hard and brittle.
  • Work quickly when you are pouring the toffee onto the prepared pan. The toffee will start to set quickly.
  • Let the toffee cool completely before cutting it into pieces. This will help to prevent the toffee from crumbling.
  • Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature. The toffee will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Double Nut English Toffee is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, buttery flavor and crunchy texture, this toffee is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
