Buttery Walnut Toffee Recipe
  • Prep: 30 min. + cooling
  • Yield: 12 Servings
30 30

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 cup butter, softened, divided
  • 1 cup whole unblanched almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips, melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  • Line an 11-in. x 7-in. pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 tablespoon butter. Arrange almonds evenly in pan; set aside.
  • In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, salt and remaining butter. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until mixture is caramel-colored and a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage). Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Immediately pour over almonds. Cool completely.
  • Spread melted chocolate over toffee; sprinkle with walnuts. Let stand until set. Break into pieces. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 1-1/2 pounds.

Editor's Note: We recommend that you test your candy thermometer before each use by bringing water to a boil; the thermometer should read 212°. Adjust your recipe temperature up or down based on your test.
