Homemade Toffees – Easy and Tasty Recipe

My grandmother made toffees at Christmas time and wrapped them in thin paper, which I cut with the decorative fringe aluminum foil and then we used to hang them in the Christmas tree.

I have now tried to see if I know how to make them and here is the recipe for some delicious homemade toffees! They proved to be very aromatic. They are melting in the mouth.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup pecans, chopped

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Spread almonds in an even layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake until toasted, about 10 minutes; set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sugar vanilla and salt over medium heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until butter has melted and mixture is almond brown in color, about 10-15 minutes.
  4. Immediately spread the hot caramel mixture evenly over the almonds. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. After 1-2 minutes, spread the chocolate chips in an even layer until smooth. Sprinkle with pecans.
  5. Let cool completely, about 2 hours. Break into pieces.
