Equipment

  • heavy-bottomed saucepan
  • baking dish
  • spatula
  • candy thermometer

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

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

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Gather all ingredients.
  • Combine butter, sugar, and salt in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir constantly in one direction until butter is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, line a 9x13-inch baking dish with a sheet of parchment paper, letting it overhang two sides of the dish.
  • Once the butter has melted, stop stirring and bring mixture to a boil. Once boiling, cook, stirring only 2 to 3 times, until it turns a dark amber color and the temperature reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) on a candy thermometer, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Immediately pour toffee into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top and let sit until they soften, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Use a spatula to spread softened chocolate into a thin, even layer.
  • Sprinkle nuts over the chocolate and press down slightly; wearing a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
  • Place toffee in the refrigerator until set, about 1 hour. Lift hardened toffee out of the baking dish with the parchment paper.
  • Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Notes

You can use chopped walnuts or pecan nuts instead of almonds if preferred.
