almond toffee
Classic English almond toffee candy made with a buttery toffee base, topped with rich milk chocolate and crunchy walnuts. Perfect for gifting and festive treats.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup margarine
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 oz milk chocolate melted
- 1 cup unblanched whole almonds
- 1 cup finely ground walnuts
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Line an 11x7 inch baking dish with foil or use a silicone brownie bite pan with 24 bites. Arrange almonds in a single layer on the base. Set aside.
- In a heavy saucepan, combine unsalted butter, margarine, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Continue boiling and stirring the mixture for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the candy turns a golden almond color (about 300°F). Quickly pour the hot toffee over the arranged almonds, using a small metal scoop if using a silicone pan.
- Allow the toffee to cool completely, about 2 hours.
- Spread melted milk chocolate evenly over the cooled toffee. Generously sprinkle the finely ground walnuts over the chocolate. Let the chocolate set completely before cutting or removing from the pan. Store in an airtight container and enjoy.
Notes
For best results, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent butter separation. You can use all butter instead of margarine if preferred. If chocolate slips off the toffee, wipe the surface with a dry paper towel before adding chocolate and sprinkle cocoa powder or crushed nuts to help set.
