Almond Toffee

Ingredients
1 cup  butter
1 cup  sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp  salt
12oz milk chocolate, melted
1 cup  whole almonds
1 cup finely ground walnuts

Instructions
On a foil lined baking dish (11x7)- or in a silicone brownie bite pan- arrange almonds in a single layer. Set aside.

In a heavy pan, combine butter, sugar, vanilla and salt. Cook over medium-high heat with a wooden spoon until butter melts, stirring constantly. Continue cooking (AND STIRRING) an additional 5-7 minutes until candy turns the color of almonds (about 300 degrees). Pour over almonds. If using the brownie bite pan, I use a small metal scoop to get toffee into each bite, working quickly!

Cool completely.

When candy is cooled and set (about 2 hours), spread chocolate over top of toffee. Sprinkle generously with ground walnuts. If doing both sides, use only half of the chocolate and walnuts. Allow top to set before flipping over and doing bottom. When set, pop out of silicone pan and store in a airtight containers. OR cut into pieces. ENJOY!

Yield: 24 bites or one 11x7 pan

Brian and I learned to melt the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water as to not burn the chocolate! :)
