Want the best homemade toffee ever?
Here is the best toffees I’ve ever tried and the recipe calls for only five simple ingredients!
What makes this toffee so good are the finishing touches.
The top has a generous layer of semisweet chocolate and chopped almonds, one of my favorite nuts.
If you attempt this toffee recipe using a heavy pot, stirring constantly is a must.
Make sure you can hover over your stove for the full 20 minutes to stir with a wooden spatula, so your toffee doesn’t burn.
At 300 degrees F, you can easily scorch your pot if you are not attentive.
At times I can get restless waiting for something to cool.
For this particular treat, I sometimes like to cool the filled pan in the refrigerator just until the toffee comes to room temperature.
Then I transfer it to the freezer, so the rest can set up.
This takes about 15 more minutes.
Enjoy this perfect candy for Christmas and the holidays!!

I make toffee, too. Much better if you put almonds IN THE TOFFEE right before it reaches hard crack. Also, use Wiltons lite chocolate disks! So much better than chocolate chips.

What is the size of the pan you use to spread the toffee?

I made this but don’t make my mistake. The pan should be a cookie sheet NOT A BAKING PAN otherwise it will be to thick and hard to eat. I used the cookie sheet the second time and delicious. This is my favorite candy for the holidays and will make again.

I like to find cookies or desserts that have less than one cup of sugar because there are so many other sweets that are add in the recipes if not careful the dessert tastes like candy, because its to sweet
