This English toffee recipe is so easy and so delicious, it might be the best I've ever had. The best part is that it comes together in one pan, you can cover it with chocolate and nuts, or leave it plain. You don't need a candy thermometer, just a watchful eye and a sense of color. This is an old family recipe that I make every year for the holidays, Christmas just isn't the same without this simple almond toffee. For those of you who love Almond Roca, this is exactly like it, but better.
Almond Butter Crunch
INGREDIENTS
2 cups slivered almonds
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons invert sugar/Lyle’s Golden syrup or corn syrup
9-12oz/3/4 bars good quality dark chocolate, I prefer 70% or darker, chopped
2-3 cups walnuts, chopped finely
DIRECTIONS
Line a 1/2 sheet pan with parchment and butter it. Set aside. In a large saucepan combine the butter, sugar, corn syrup and almonds. Cover it with a lid and cook over medium heat until butter is melted. Stir or swirl the mixture just as much as you need to keep the nuts from browning on the bottom of the pan. Once it starts to boil, don't stir, just swirl (or flip as I do, careful it’s hot). Once it boils continue biting for 5-6 minutes. You want a golden color with some toasted almonds, but not dark brown like you do for caramel, it’s a natural leather color. The end temperature will be between 300-310F/149-155C. Immediately spread the toffee out onto your buttered sheet, even it out with a rubber scraper.

Cover the toffee with the chocolate and let it set for 3-4 minutes to melt. Once the chocolate is all glassy and melted, spread it out and cover the entire surface with chopped walnuts. That’s it. Cool in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before breaking into shards. Store cooled toffee in a sealed container.
