BEST TOFFEE EVER - SUPER EASY



Best Toffee Ever - Super Easy image

Chocolate and almonds top off a rich buttery toffee. A simple recipe that you could easily remember and whip up any time. I always get compliments and requests for more. Use any type of nut that you like in place of the almonds.

Provided by FUNKYSEAMONKEY

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.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality walnuts. Avoid walnuts that are old or rancid.
  • To easily remove the walnut halves from their shells, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the shells are slightly cracked. Once they are cool enough to handle, you can easily pry the halves apart.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the toffee by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the toffee forms a hard ball, it is ready. If it forms a soft ball, it needs to cook longer.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
  • To make the toffee crunchies even more festive, add some chopped nuts, dried fruit, or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

Conclusion:

Walnut toffee crunchies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover walnuts. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy treat that will be enjoyed by people of all ages.
