Yield

24 Bites or One 11x7 Pan

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 12 oz milk chocolate, melted
• 1 cup unblanched whole almonds
• 1 cup finely ground walnuts

Instructions

1. Preparation: Line an 11x7 baking dish with foil or use a silicone brownie bite pan. Arrange almonds in a single layer on the pan.
2. Making the Toffee: In a heavy pan, combine butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until it reaches a rolling boil. Continue boiling for 5-7 minutes until the mixture turns almond color (around 300 degrees Fahrenheit).
3. Assembly: Pour the toffee over the almonds. If using a brownie bite pan, use a small scoop to distribute the toffee evenly.
4. Cooling: Allow the toffee to cool and set for about 2 hours.
5. Adding Chocolate and Walnuts: Spread melted chocolate over the set toffee and sprinkle with ground walnuts. For double-sided toffee, do one side at a time.

Additional Tips

• Stirring Technique: Vigorously stir the toffee mixture during cooking to prevent burning.
• Temperature Settings: If using an electric stove, maintain the heat at level 7 throughout boiling.
• Handling Butter Separation: If the butter separates while scooping, use the scoop to stir slightly.
