Super Easy Toffee Recipe

The other day I mentioned this was my first time making toffee and it turned out just wonderful if I do say so myself :) I found the recipe via someone's blog out there, but now I can't find it to save my life. I did print it off...thank goodness, but I feel bad I don't know where I got it. If you know, please do tell...I'd love to give them {or you} credit.

We loved this recipe so much it is almost gone so I thought I would make another batch and show you how.....yummy!

Super Easy Toffee

1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds or pecans for the bottom layer

1 cup salted butter

1 cup sugar

1 T. light corn syrup

3 T. water

1/2 bag of semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds or pecans for the top layer

Line a cookie sheet or 9x13 pan with foil and sprinkle 1/2 cup of nuts evenly over the bottom of the pan.

In a heavy saucepan melt the butter.

Add the sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook and stir over medium-high heat to boiling. You will NEED a candy thermometer and don't let it rest on the bottom of your pan or reading will be off. Cook this until it reaches the soft-crack stage or 270°. Don't let it go farther or it will be too hard....unless of course you like yours super possibly crack a tooth hard. Just watch it ...don't leave it.....and stir constantly or it WILL burn.

As soon as it reaches soft-crack stage gently pour your bubbly mixture evenly over the top of the nuts in your foil lined pan. Let it sit for a couple minutes.

Sprinkle your chocolate chips over the top and let sit a couple of minutes.

Use an off-set spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly spread out the melted chips.

top with the remaining nuts and ever so gently press them into the chocolate a little so they stick to it. 

Let this cool completely. I just put the lid on and stuck it out on my deck for a few minutes at 14° it didn't take long. Break into pieces and enjoy!
