9 x 9 Baking Pan (Affiliate Link):
Ingredients
1/2 cup coarsely chopped almonds*
1 cup (2 sticks ) unsalted butter cut into pieces (226g)
1 cup granulated sugar 200g
1/4 cup water 60ml
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1-2 Tablespoons finely chopped almonds for topping, optional
Flaky sea salt for topping, optional
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:22 Line a 9x9 pan with parchment paper and scatter coarsely chopped almonds evenly over the bottom. Set aside.
00:43 Combine butter, sugar, water, and salt in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Meanwhile measure out your vanilla extract and have it ready nearby.
01:22 Stir ingredients frequently over medium heat. During this time (only before boiling), use a wet pastry brush to brush down the sides where any sugar may settle on the side of the pot to prevent sugar crystals. Continue to stir frequently until mixture comes to a boil (this may take a while, have patience and do not turn up the heat or you will ruin your toffee).
01:51 Once the mixture comes to a boil, attach your candy thermometer. Make sure that the point of the candy thermometer is not touching the bottom of your pan.
Continue to stir occasionally, the mixture will slowly thicken and will turn a more yellow hue as it cooks, and cook to hard crack (305°F/151°C).
02:38 Once toffee reaches 305°F/151°C, immediately remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract (careful, it bubbles and steams a bit).
02:56 Pour mixture evenly into your prepared pan over the almonds. Allow to sit for 5 minutes and then sprinkle chocolate chips evenly overtop the mixture. Cover with foil and allow to sit another 5 minutes, then remove the foil and use a spatula to gently spread chocolate chips evenly over your toffee.
Immediately sprinkle with additional finely chopped almonds and flaky sea salt, if desired.
03:30 Allow to cool completely at room temperature before breaking and serving.

How To Make English Toffee
Ingredients
I made a mistake in the video and said 2 cups of sugar. The Recipe only calls for one cup. I'm sorry????
1 cup of salted butter
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp of vanilla
1/2 - 1 cup of chipped pecans
1/2 - 3/4 cup of chocolate chips
Directions
Prepare a baking sheet by buttering the bottom. I use a 9x13 but a smaller one can be used. Sprinke desired amount of pecans over the butter. Set aside
Add butter and sugar to a medium sized heavy gaged sauce pan. Melt over medium high heat, stirring occasionally until it comes to a full boil. Once it comes to a boil turn heat down to medium. Continue to stir occasionally until the temperature of the mixture reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer.
Once candy has reached 300 degrees, remove from heat. Stir in vanilla very carefully. Pour toffee over pecans. Spread toffee desired thickness. Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot Toffee. Allow them to sit about 2 minutes to soften up. Using a spatula, spread melted chips over toffee. Sprinkle remaining nuts over chocolate. Let the candy cool completely before breaking into pieces. Store in airtight container. Enjoy

INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp corn syrup
- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped toasted pecans
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
Butter a 9×13 baking sheet pan. Set aside.
Have an instant-read thermometer ready or fit saucepan with a candy thermometer.
In a heavy-bottom four-quart saucepan, combine butter, sugar, salt, and corn syrup. Over low heat, bring to a boil, stirring slowly. Continue to boil until the mixture reached 290°F. It will be a light amber color and smell like caramel and butterscotch.
Remove from heat, add in vanilla, and pour into the prepared baking sheet pan. Let cool for one minute and sprinkle with ¼ cup chopped nuts over the entire mixture. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let sit until melted, about two minutes. Spread the chocolate evenly with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with remaining chopped nuts. Let cool completely, about four hours.
Once cooled completely, break into desired pieces. Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to one month. If in a warm climate, store in the refrigerator.

Soft Crunch Buttery Toffee Candy
#toffee #recipe #candy If you want a soft crunch buttery toffee candy, this video and recipe might be just for you. This is one of my very favorite candies to enjoy during Christmas. Sometimes, though, when I have had other recipes, the toffee is so hard and not enjoyable at all. This recipe is just right with just the right amount of crunch!
Gail uses step-by-step details to show you how to make this just right soft crunch buttery toffee candy. I originally found this recipe online at But, I had problems with the water causing the butter to separate from the sugar. So, I omitted all water from the recipe and tweaked this a bit to come up with this amazing soft crunch buttery toffee that is on the video. I have been told that it is the best buttery toffee there is! If you try this, please leave a comment and let me know how you like it. Thanks. BIG TIP: Use a good butter like Land O' Lakes. This recipe might not turn out as well if you use cheap butter that has more water content. I suggest Land O'Lakes for this recipe (and most other recipes as well.).

INGREDIENT LIST and RECIPE
1 cup whole almonds, natural
8 ounces of milk chocolate
1 cup salted butter, cubed
1 cup sugar
1 - 2 teaspoons vanilla
DIRECTIONS:
Toast the almonds by placing them in a shallow cookie pan and placing them in a preheated 350-degree oven for about 5 - 10 minutes. Then use a food processor and chop the almonds till coarsely chopped. Line a 9 x 13 casserole dish with lightly-buttered parchment paper. Sprinkle the almonds on the parchment paper. Set aside.
Chop the chocolate into small pieces. I do this by hand and do not use a food processor. Set aside.
Start the toffee. Mix butter and sugar In a heavy 2-4 quart pan. A bottom heavy pan works great because it heats more evenly. Cook over medium-low heat. Stir gently ever so often. Do not over-stir because this can lead the sugar to crystalize. As soon as the butter melts, you can up the heat to about medium. Still do not stir too often. Another idea is to leave your stirring whisk in the mixture so it will be the same temperature as the mixture. Bring to a boil. Add the candy thermometer and continue to cook and stir ever so often, but not too much, until the candy thermometer reaches 290 degrees. If you want a harder crunch, cook to a higher temperature. I like 290 because that is what gives it a gentler, softer crunch.
Immediately pour the mixture over your almonds. Let sit for about just about a minute. (See the video for details.) Sprinkle the chocolate on top of the mixture. Cover for about 2-4 minutes. Uncover and spread the chocolate. An option is to sprinkle the rest of the almonds on top of the chocolate. Set in the refrigerator until the chocolate has set and then remove. Break into pieces of your desired sizes. Store in a covered container.
