BUTTER TOFFEE BRITTLE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Boil the butter, sugar, and corn syrup until it reaches 300°F on a candy thermometer. Carefully stir in most of the crush cashews. Save a small amount to sprinkle on top of the chocolate. Pour into a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil and greased with butter. Place another piece of aluminum foil greased with butter on top. Use a rolling pin to gently roll the candy to be even thickness in the pan. Do this while the mixture is still hot. Let the mixture cool. Melt the chocolate and frost the brittle with the melted chocolate and sprinkle the chocolate with the crushed cashews. Break into pieces when the brittle is cool and firm.

EASY BUTTER TOFFEE

Steps:

• Rub the top of a microwavable mixing bowl with (extra) butter. Place butter into bowl. Pour sugar directly on butter. Add salt and water.
• Cook approximately 7-8 minutes (sometimes I have seen some microwaves take up to 12 minutes). Start watching at this point so as not to overcook. Candy is done when it's the color of a Heath bar or brown sugar.
• Pour mixture over sliced almonds on a buttered cookie sheet. Don't scrape the bowl! Cool!
• Top with melted chocolate (and more almonds if you wish) and let cool some more.
• Break into pieces and serve. (I use a regular table knife -- just be sure not to cut into your cookie sheet!) Enjoy!
