I love See’s Candies Toffee-etes but it comes at a hefty price. So I went to Google and found this great recipe on letthebakingbegin.com.
Ingredients:
2⅓ cups sugar
2 cups unsalted butter (or salted if you prefer things a bit salty)
¼ cups + 2 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp light corn syrup or Glucose (you can also use 1tbsp of agave syrup to sub)
2 cups chopped almonds toasted
1-2 cup dark or milk real chocolate chips (to taste)
Instructions:
Butter 15×10 inch baking pan, set aside.
Combine sugar, water, corn syrup and butter in a heavy 3 quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the butter is completely melted.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for another 25-40 minutes until thermometer reaches 300F or ‘hard crack’ stage. To test if it’s at ‘hard crack’ stage, drop a small amount of caramel into cold water, if it forms hard brittle strands, it’s done.
Add 1 cup nuts and stir to incorporate.
Pour mixture into prepared pan and spread around with the back of the wooden spoon.
Wait 5 minutes and sprinkle the chocolate chips. Allow to sit for another 5 minutes, then spread the now melted chocolate with a spoon. Sprinkle with remaining nuts.
Let cool completely, about 3 hours.
Break into pieces.
