ENGLISH TOFFEE
This candy tastes wonderful and takes about 15 minutes to make. My sister and I did three batches in an hour one year for Christmas. I use a cast iron skillet and some times just a few of the almonds to help gauge the readiness.

ALMOND ROCA (ENGLISH TOFFEE)
A delectable confection from the kitchen of June Oaks, wife of Brigham Young University president Dallin Oaks. This was surprisingly easy to make and an absolutely delicious addition to my goodie plates for Christmas.

Steps:
- Spread almonds evenly on a buttered 12 x 17-inch jelly roll pan. (I used a Silpat sheet and only buttered sides and that worked great).
- Mix sugar, butter and water in a large saucepan. Cook over high heat until tan (295°F at sea level). It needs to be past the point where the mixture begins to turn tan. It will be a foamy, thick, medium tan. Be sure to stir constantly with a wooden spoon.
- Pour over sliced almonds and spread as much as possible.
- Sprinkle chocolate pieces over immediately. Let melt a minute or two and then spread evenly with knife.
- When completely cool and chocolate is solid, break into pieces.

ALMOND-ENCRUSTED ENGLISH TOFFEE
I got this recipe last year from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It is by John Kessler and by far the best toffee I've tried to make. (And I have tried others from the site!) I made this for Christmas gifts and people just loved it! For best results, use quality ingrediants such as Plugra butter and Ghirardelli chocolate. The original recipe calls for bittersweet chocolate, but I prefer milk chocolate. Just a matter of preference. Also, if you use roasted almonds instead of raw, they may overcook!

Steps:
- Chop the almonds until they are broken into chunks with a food processor or blender.
- Remove half and continue to grind the remaining portion into a coarse meal- Set both halves aside for later.
- Melt butter with salt on medium heat.
- Stir sugar in slowly.
- Continue cooking and stirring for approximately 15 minutes.
- At first, the sugar will sink to the bottom and not melt.
- Eventually, the sugar and butter will melt into each other into a pearly, puffy mixture (make sure your pan is large enough) and then will continue to darken from buttery yellow to tan.
- When it turns tan, stir in the chunks of almond and vanilla, darkening the mixture further.
- Continue stirring until the almonds are toasted- You will be able to tell by the scent- Be very careful at this point that the almonds do not begin to burn!
- The temperature should be about 280°/Hard crack stage and if butter starts to rise to the top, take mixture off the heat immediately.
- Stir it briskly once off the heat then pour into a 11x15 baking sheet that has been lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Cut 1/2 the chocolate up and melt over a double boiler and spread over the surface of the cooling toffee.
- Dust surface with 1/2 of the almond meal.
- Once cooled and hardened, melt the remaining chocolate, flip toffee out of the pan, and coat the bottom.
- Repeat dusting of almonds.
- Don't get all stressed if the toffee breaks-- it's supposed to be handy-size chunks.
- Refrigerate until hardened thoroughly and finish breaking into piece.
- Continue to refrigerate or freeze until ready to serve/given as gift/eaten!

- 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.

- Chop the Almonds (1 pound) into large chunks – just a rough cut. Set aside these go into the toffee.
- Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper - set aside. In a food processor grind the remaining almonds into a coarse meal. Place almond meal on the baking sheet with the parchment paper.
- Add your Unsalted Butter (2 cup) and Salt (1 teaspoon) to pot and melt completely then slowly add your Granulated Sugar (2 cup) while stirring continually. Add your Water (1 tablespoon) and Light Corn Syrup (1 tablespoon) and continue to stir. The sugar will at first sink to the bottom of the pot. It will gradually melt and begin to incorporate into the butter. Then the mixture will begin to turn to look like taffy and change color.
- I cooked it until it reached 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) with a candy thermometer. You must be very careful working with this stuff not to get burned. Do not touch any of the candy mixture.
