Grandma Nash’s Best Butter Almond English Toffee recipe is one to be handed down through generations. The crunchy, buttery toffee and toasted almonds with a thick layer of chocolate makes this one of our favorite candies and a Christmas tradition that we love to share with friends & neighbors!
Ingredients :
- 1 cup roasted almonds, chopped
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate (about 6 ounces), finely chopped
- Candy thermometer
Instructions :
- To toast the almonds, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread whole almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast 10-15 minutes, until fragrant and toasted, but being careful not to burn them. Let cool, then chop into small pieces and set aside.
- Butter a baking sheet or silipat mat, then sprinkle half of the chopped almonds on the buttered surface and set aside.
- In a heavy pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter, then add both types of sugar and the water. Stir to combine using a long-handled wooden spoon and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue stirring until a candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees (hard crack stage), usually between 10-15 minutes.
