- 2 cups unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup almonds finely chopped
In large, heavy bottomed saucepan, add butter, sugar, and salt. Turn heat on medium and stir until butter is melted. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is dark amber and temperature reaches 285 °F.
While toffee is cooking, line large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment.
As soon as toffee reaches temperature, pour onto lined baking sheet. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top, allow to soften for 1 - 2 minutes, then spread to even layer. Sprinkle nuts over chocolate, press in slightly, using wax paper or plastic to protect hand.
Place in refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces and store in airtight container.
