How To Make English Butter Toffee

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 cups unsalted butter,

  cubed and at room temperature.
• 2 cups granulated or white sugar.
• 1 tsp table salt.
• 2 cups dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips .
• 1 cup whole unsalted, uncooked almonds

  finely chopped.
• 1 pinch Sea salt or large flake salt

  for sprinkling on top.

Instructions

• 1 Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper.
  Set aside.
• 2 In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan on medium heat, combine the unsalted butter,
  granulated white sugar and salt. Continue stirring the mixture until the butter
  is melted and the sugar is dissolved. 
• 3 Allow the mixture to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark
  amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (137
  to 149 degrees C) or the hard crack stage on the candy thermometer. Stir
  occasionally using a wooden spoon.
• 4 As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out onto the
  prepared baking sheet.
• 5 Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to
  soften. You can even place foil over the pan to help the chocolate melt.
• 6 Uncover the toffee and spread the melted chocolate into a thin even layer once
  it is melted. 
• 7 Sprinkle the nuts and sea salt over the chocolate, and press in slightly. 
  Placing a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
• 8 Cover and place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Lift the
  parchment paper off the baking sheet and place it onto a cutting board or solid
  surface. 
• 9 Using a sharp knife, slice the toffee and begin to break it into pieces.
• 10 Serve and enjoy!
