Ingredients
- 2 cups butter (unsalted)
- 2 cups organic cane sugar
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup finely chopped almonds
Instructions
- Combine butter, sugar, and salt in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir constantly in one direction until butter is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, line a 9×13-inch baking dish with a sheet of parchment paper, letting it overhang two sides of the dish.
- Once the butter has melted, stop stirring and bring mixture to a boil. Once boiling, cook, stirring only 2 to 3 times, until it turns a dark amber color and the temperature reaches 285 degrees F (137 degrees C) on a candy thermometer, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Immediately pour toffee into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top and let sit until they soften, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Use a spatula to spread softened chocolate into a thin, even layer.
- Sprinkle nuts over the chocolate and press down slightly. Spraying a little olive oil on your hands will help prevent sticking.
- Place toffee in the refrigerator until set, about 1 hour. Lift hardened toffee out of the baking dish with the parchment paper.
- Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
