Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups almonds roughly chopped
  • 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 pound salted butter (4 sticks butter)
  • 1/4 cup Karo corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup pecans finely chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare your ingredients by measuring and chopping the almonds and pecans, and set them aside.
  • In a heavy-bottom saucepan, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup. Stir gently and bring to a boil over medium heat.
  • Once boiling, do not stir. Allow to cook, occasionally swirling the pan, until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
  • Remove from heat and stir in butter, salt, and cinnamon until smooth.
  • Fold in the chopped almonds until evenly coated.
  • Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spread it out evenly.
  • Melt 2 cups of chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the toffee, spreading it evenly.
  • Sprinkle chopped pecans over the chocolate, pressing down gently.
  • Cool completely until the chocolate is set.
  • Break into pieces and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Heavy-bottom saucepan
  • Wooden spoon or heat-resistant spatula
  • Candy thermometer
  • Baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container to maintain crunch.
  • Sprinkle sea salt on top for added flavor.
  • Monitor the candy thermometer closely to avoid burning.
