Ingredients
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 7 bars milk chocolate (unwrapped)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: Toast the Almonds: Toast sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Make the Toffee Base: In a saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and water. Heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Boil, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle boil.
  4. Step 4: Cook the Toffee: Stir frequently until it reaches a deep amber color and around 300°F (hard crack stage).
  5. Step 5: Add Vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract carefully as it will bubble up.
  6. Step 6: Pour the Toffee: Quickly pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly. Sprinkle toasted almonds on top.
  7. Step 7: Add Chocolate: Place milk chocolate bars over warm toffee, let sit until softened, then spread evenly.
  8. Step 8: Finish with Sea Salt: If desired, sprinkle coarse sea salt over the melted chocolate.
  9. Step 9: Cool and Break: Let the toffee cool completely until set, then break into pieces and enjoy.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
