Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup unsalted roasted almonds, chopped
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter melts and the sugars dissolve.

Step 4

Once the mixture reaches a boil, attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan, ensuring the bulb is submerged in the toffee mixture without touching the bottom.

Step 5

Continue cooking, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) on the candy thermometer, the hard crack stage. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 6

Immediately remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and half of the chopped almonds, mixing thoroughly.

Step 7

Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out into an even layer with a spatula.

Step 8

Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Let them sit for a few minutes until they begin to melt.

Step 9

Using a spatula, spread the melted chocolate over the toffee in an even layer.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining chopped almonds over the chocolate layer.

Step 11

Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature for about 1 to 2 hours or until the chocolate has set.

Step 12

Once cooled and set, break the toffee into desired pieces and store in an airtight container.
