TOFFEE!! Simple but, SO GOOD!!





Another MUST have for the Holiday Season! Who doesn't LOVE toffee? Crunchy, buttery, chocolately deliciousness!!! Another treat to add to your dessert list!!

ALMOND TOFFEE
INGREDIENTS:  
1 1/2 cups chopped, toasted almonds (I used slivered--use what you have!)
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter
chocolate chips, chocolate bars (milk, dark, semi-sweet--you choose!)

INSTRUCTIONS:  
Butter 9 x13 pan. (I used 9 x 9 and it was WAY too thick! Still yummy, just VERY hard to eat!)
Sprinkle 1 cup almonds on bottom of the pan.
In heavy saucepan (medium heat) melt butter and add brown sugar.  
Stir until gently boiling.
Reduce heat to medium, med-low and boil 12 minutes exactly (or to 300 degrees on thermometer).
Pull it off the heat and stir well.
Immediately pour over almonds in pan.
Cover top with chocolate. (I used dark chocolate chips)
Let chocolate melt then spread. (I didn't spread it, I left it chunky)
Sprinkle with remaining almonds, press down gently.
Cool completely then break into chunks with sharp knife.
Store in covered container in refrigerator.
Enjoy!!
