English Toffee
This English Toffee is an easy to make, rich, buttery-caramel candy topped with chocolate and nuts. It is a Christmas tradition in my family.

Ingredients
- 1 cup butter I used salted, but you can use unsalted as well
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt *I omit this if I use salted butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup slivered almonds
Instructions
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
- Let the butter melt and sugar dissolve and then bring to a simmer, then cook, stirring constantly with a whisk, so the butter and sugar don't separate, until it reaches the hard-crack stage (300°F). Or until it turns a deep amber; typically takes 18–21 minutes.
- Immediately pour into slightly buttered 13"x9" pan.
- Let it sit for about 20 minutes, then add the chocolate.
- Melt the semi-sweet and dark chocolate together using a double broiler.
- Spread over toffee; sprinkle with almonds, pressing them into chocolate.
- Let stand 2-3 hours or chill 30 minutes.
- Break into bite-size pieces.
