Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter
  • 1-1/3 cup Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Corn Syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons Water
  • 8 ounces, weight Milk Chocolate, Chopped
  • 1 cup Finely Chopped Toasted Almonds

Method

  • Prepare a large cookie sheet or jelly roll pan by coating it with butter.
  • Melt butter in a heavy 2-quart saucepan.
  • Add sugar, corn syrup and water and cook until hard crack stage (300°F or, as Mom says, cook until it is the same color as an old penny).
  • Immediately pour onto prepared pan. Wait only a couple minutes for it to solidify then, while it's still warm, spread milk chocolate on top. Allow the heat of the toffee to melt the chocolate then spread chocolate with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle almonds on top and lightly press into melted chocolate. When completely cool, break into pieces and store in a covered container.
