Categories     Desserts     Candy Recipes     Toffee Recipes

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.

TOFFEE BARS



Toffee Bars image

My mom made these bars when I was a child, and she still does, so they bring back a lot of memories for me. This recipe is my own variation that I developed in recent years; I love the colors of the cranberries and white chocolate - they're very festive. But sometimes I make them just like Mom with milk chocolate and walnuts. Most of the time I forget to add the salt, and I find it doesn't make any difference - they always taste delicious and are always a hit!
