• As soon as the butter is melted add the almonds.
• Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula (that can withstand high heat) for about 45 minutes.
• As it cooks, the mixture will bubble and begin to thicken. You must stir constantly (i.e. do not leave the stove for 45 minutes).
• You will know your toffee is done when a few things happen: *The toffee becomes firm enough to form a shape when stirred with the spatula. *The mixture turns a darker brown *The almonds turn darker brown *The best way to check if the candy is done is using a thermometer to be sure it has reached 265 to 270 degrees F.
• As soon as your toffee reaches 265 degrees F add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
• Once the toffee is done, QUICKLY dump the mixture onto your buttered cookie sheet and spread it evenly with your buttered spatula.
• Pour the chocolate chips on top of the warm toffee. Let them sit for 5 minutes then spread evenly.
• Let the pan sit at room temperature for 24 hours or overnight.
• After 24 hours, break the toffee into pieces with your hands and enjoy!
