Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup roasted almonds, chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water to the saucepan and stir until combined.
Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and cook the mixture without stirring until it reaches 290°F (143°C), which is the hard crack stage.
Remove the pan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and chopped roasted almonds.
Carefully pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly with a heat-resistant spatula.
Allow the toffee to cool for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle the chocolate chips over the surface while it is still warm.
Let the chocolate sit for 2-3 minutes to melt, then gently spread it into an even layer using an offset spatula.
Let the almond butter crunch cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set.
Once fully hardened, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
