Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cup sliced almonds divided
  • 1.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp light corn syrup helps prevent crystallization
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat and set aside.
  • Toast the almonds at 350°F for 7–9 minutes until lightly golden. Cool, then scatter about half on the lined sheet.
  • Melt butter, sugar, water, corn syrup, and salt in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  • Clip on a candy thermometer and cook without stirring to 300°F (hard crack), 8–10 minutes. Swirl the pan if needed.
  • Remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour the hot toffee evenly over the almonds on the sheet and spread into a thin layer.
  • Sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let sit 2 minutes, then spread the melted chocolate smooth.
  • Finish with the remaining almonds, pressing lightly so they adhere. Cool until firm, then chill 20–30 minutes to set.
  • Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Notes

Try dark chocolate and a pinch of espresso powder for a bittersweet twist, or finish with flaky salt. Store airtight at cool room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or refrigerate for extra snappiness.
