almond toffee
Classic almond toffee bites made with rich butter, sugar, and roasted almonds, topped with melted milk chocolate and ground walnuts. Perfectly crunchy and buttery with a smooth chocolate finish.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup margarine
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounce milk chocolate melted
- 1 cup whole almonds unblanched
- 1 cup walnuts finely ground
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Arrange almonds in a single layer on a foil-lined 11x7 inch baking dish or in a silicone brownie bite pan with 24 bites. Set aside.
- In a heavy pan, combine butter, margarine, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until butter melts and the mixture reaches a rolling boil.
- Continue boiling and stirring for 5-7 minutes until the candy turns the color of almonds (about 300 degrees F). Immediately pour the toffee over the almonds. If using a brownie bite pan, use a small scoop to fill each bite quickly.
- Let the toffee cool completely, about 2 hours, until set.
- Spread melted milk chocolate evenly over the top of the toffee. Generously sprinkle ground walnuts on top. Allow the chocolate to set before flipping over to coat the bottom if desired. Once fully set, remove from pan and store in an airtight container or cut into pieces.
Notes
This almond toffee is perfect for holiday gifting or a special sweet treat. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
