ALMOND TOFFEE



Almond Toffee image

A friend Susan Butters gave me this recipe in 1986. When Susan was in High School the owner of a well-known candy store demonstrated this recipe in the Home Economics class. Susan noted the ingredients and has been making this candy for years. I admit that I have made it several times, perfectly. Other times it is edible, but I have had various problems with it turning out just right. It is a VERY GOOD candy and friends and relatives look foreward to a box for special occasions.

Time 2h30m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 lb butter (4 cubes)
2 cups raw almonds
16 ounces hershey plain milk chocolate candy bars
1 1/3 cups raw almonds, ground fine

Steps:

  • Using a heavy cooking pot, add the sugar and water, and without stirring, bring the mixture to a temperature of 230*.
  • On an electric stove the burner is kept on high the entire time. (When I make it on a gas stove I also keep the burner on high flame.).
  • When the temperature reaches 230* add the butter, 1 stick at a time, stirring constantly in a figure 8 until each is melted.
  • Add 2 cups of whole raw almonds and continue cooking until the mixture is a caramel color.
  • Pour onto a buttered cookie sheet (NO NOT scrape the pot!) and immediately set on packed snow, or float in ice water to cool.(If there was no snow, Susan added water and lots of ice to the bathtub.).
  • Melt the 2 chocolate bars in a microwave. Grind the 1 1/3 cup raw almonds fine or put them in a blender.
  • After the candy has cooled, spread with the chocolate, and dust heavily with the ground almonds. Turn over and repeat on the other side. Let stand for a few hours to 'set'. Break into pieces and ENJOY!
  • I have no idea how many servings this would be called -- .

  • To toast the almonds, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread whole almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast 10-15 minutes, until fragrant and toasted, but being careful not to burn them. Let cool, then chop into small pieces and set aside.
  • Butter a baking sheet or silipat mat, then sprinkle half of the chopped almonds on the buttered surface and set aside.
  • In a heavy pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter, then add both types of sugar and the water. Stir to combine using a long-handled wooden spoon and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue stirring until a candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees (hard crack stage), usually between 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and immediately stir in the baking soda, working quickly. The toffee will bubble and foam a bit when reacting to the baking soda. Immediately pour the hot candy over the almonds in the prepared baking sheet and spread out into a thin layer with the back of your stirring spoon; let cool slightly for 2-3 minutes before sprinkling the chopped chocolate over the toffee. The heat of the candy will melt the chocolate after just a few minutes and then you can spread it out into an even layer with the back of spatula or knife.
