Choc & Nut Toffee
Ingredients
1 cup whole Raw Almonds ( I use Cashew Nuts)
1 cup butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt ( If using dry roasted no need for salt)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups milk chocolate chips
¼ cup finely chopped pecans ( I use Dry Roasted Peanuts)
1 cup butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt ( If using dry roasted no need for salt)
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups milk chocolate chips
¼ cup finely chopped pecans ( I use Dry Roasted Peanuts)
Cooking Instructions
Get all of your ingredients measured and set out before you start the recipe. Then place your almonds ( or nuts of your choice) on a plate and microwave them for 2-3 minutes on high to toast them. Line a baking sheet (preferable a 9×13 pan) with foil and place the Nuts in a single layer on the foil – space them out as best you can.
Add sugar, butter, vanilla, and salt to a large sauce pan (at least 2-quarts and it needs to have a thick bottom – not a thin metal one or your toffee will burn!) and melt over medium heat, stirring throughout.
When ingredients are completely melted, continuously stir and gradually increase heat to medium-high. Keep stirring, stirring, stirring for 9-15 minutes until the toffee is a golden brown color 275F on a sugar thermometer (similar to the color of the raw almonds). As soon as it reaches that color, quickly pour over almonds in your prepared pan.
Allow to cool for about 2-3 minutes, then sprinkle with chocolate chips. Allow to sit for another couple of minutes so the chocolate chips will melt, then spread over the toffee. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and allow to cool completely. (If you put the pan in the fridge it will speed up the process a bit).
After toffee and chocolate and completely cooled, use a butter knife to break apart the toffee. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
