Easy & Delicious Best Toffee Ever

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. This toffee is incredible. I first tried this recipe at my sister-in-law’s and have loved the results ever since. I made a very small batch for our family movie night this evening. It took a grand total of 10 minutes!

When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, homemade toffee can be kept for up to two weeks. If your kitchen runs warm, pop it in the fridge to keep it a little while longer.

 

 

 

Easy & Delicious Best Toffee Ever

Ingredients:

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

 

Directions:

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.
