Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 14 tbsp unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 0.9 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1.25 cup sliced almonds lightly toasted, divided
  • 1.25 cup semisweet chocolate, finely chopped chips or chopped bar

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Spread about 1 cup almonds over the center.
  • Warm remaining almonds in a dry skillet until fragrant. Set aside for topping.
  • Combine butter, sugar, water, and salt in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture simmers. Stop stirring and cook to deep amber, 290°F.
  • Remove from heat and carefully stir in vanilla. Bubbles will surge.
  • Pour hot toffee over almonds on the pan. Spread quickly into an even layer.
  • Scatter chocolate over the hot toffee. Rest one minute, then spread smooth.
  • Sprinkle warm topping with remaining almonds. Press gently so they adhere.
  • Cool completely until firm, about 1 hour. Break into pieces and serve.

Notes

Try dark chocolate for a richer bite, or add a pinch of flaky sea salt on top. Store airtight at room temperature up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 2 months.
