Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup (222g) salted butter
- 1 cup (230g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups (300g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup (38g) minced almonds optional
Instructions
- Pull out a cookie sheet and line it with parchment paper. Set it aside where you'll have easy access to it.
- In a heavy bottom, medium sauce pan add the butter and granulated sugar.
- Over low heat, melt and stir the butter and sugar together, stirring until the sugar dissolves into the butter.
- Continue stirring until it starts to boil and the mixture is creamy and white.
- Turn the heat up to medium low and allow the mixture to boil (do not stir here) until the color has changed to an almond brown (approx 300°f or 149°c on an instant read thermometer) Once it has turned brown, remove from heat, add in the vanilla, stirring as little as possible to incorporate in the vanilla.
- Immediately pour onto the cookie sheet and spread until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
- Allow the toffee to cool and set for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the toffee. Let the chocolate chips sit for about 5 minutes, or until melted.
- Spread the chocolate over the top of the toffee and sprinkle with the minced almonds, if desired.
- Allow the toffee to sit until completely cool and the chocolate has set up.
- Use a sharp knife to cut and break the toffee into small pieces.
- Store in an air tight container for up to 1 week.
