Return to December Recipe Index
For Nancy in KY ... Below is a recipe that I found some time
back when I googled Toffee and it came up as just one of
many recipes. I made it for Christmas and I must tell you,
it is as it claims "Best Ever Toffee." It was the favorite
candy of all the stuff that my family made for the holidays.
I will make it again. Hope you will try it and like it as
much as I did.

Best Toffee Ever - Super Easy
2 cups butter
2 cups white sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup finely chopped almonds
In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter,
sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the
butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until
the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature
has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir
occasionally.
While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with
aluminum foil or parchment paper.
As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour
it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the
chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two
to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once
it is melted. Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and
press in slightly. Putting a plastic bag over your hand will
minimize the mess.
Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set.
Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.
