Chocolate Toffee

Made another batch tonight, but used chopped up york peppermint patties instead of chocolate chips. Took it to a whole new level. I dont usually eat sweets, but this stuff is amazing.

I finally made it!!
First time making this type of candy and it was pretty easy! And wow! It was good, here is a few pics (sorry about the dirty egg pan in the background):

Stiring the candy, it was around 280 degrees with the nuts in it at this point


Candy on the pans with the chocolate melted


Notes:
1. make sure the nuts are finely chopped, I had some chunks that were a bit bigger than they should have been, IMO
2. Spread the sugar mixture thinner next time, I wasn't able to because of the nuts being bigger than they should be.
3. I used a really good quality milk chocolate and it made it really good.
4. I also used a heat proof rubber spatula, and Silpat mats, I don't think this could be done without them. This is the digital candy thermometer I use.


I'm also going to try making it with almonds and dark chocolate next time, YUM!

That looks great!! You will love the almonds. Use thin sliced almonds... (amazing)

[Stan R]

When you mentioned almonds.... (on sale) just had too amazing... and you can get it real thin. I used less chocolate as I did not want to overpower the almonds

You have to stir this more..

We made this for the first time back when Stan R posted this recipe in 2008. It has become a family favorite. My wife makes 4-5 batches each holiday season. We give lots away to neighbors and friends. Thanks again for posting this recipe!
