This recipe is very hard on teeth! To fix it, add 1/3 cp brown sugar after butter has melted, 1/2 t Kosher salt and double he amount of almonds, adding half the chopped almonds to the melted butter/sugar mix about 4 mins prior to the end of cooking. Melt chocolate in a double boiler and spread thin over toffee. Coat the chocolate with finely ground almonds. Cover this finished side with a sheet of parchment and fit a like-sized pan snugly on top. Flip it over and repeat the chocolate/ground almond applications. Then, refrigerate about 30 mins. Now, you're good to go. The result should be a much softer toffee. If not, then it cooked too long. The almonds on the inside makes this easier on the teeth and so does the brown sugar; so, you should be fine. Play with it & don't cook it too long after the taffy stage.

This candy looks absoutley wonderful and "store bought" but is so chewy that it could pull your fillings out. Anyone know what I did wrong?

I followed the directions on the recipe exactly. The sugar separated from the butter at 290 degrees (I used a high quality candy thermometer) and then the "toffee" crystalized. Won't try this one again.
