Soft Crunch Buttery Toffee Candy

#toffee #recipe #candy If you want a soft crunch buttery toffee candy, this video and recipe might be just for you. This is one of my very favorite candies to enjoy during Christmas. Sometimes, though, when I have had other recipes, the toffee is so hard and not enjoyable at all. This recipe is just right with just the right amount of crunch!

Gail uses step-by-step details to show you how to make this just right soft crunch buttery toffee candy. I originally found this recipe online athttps://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/a... But, I had problems with the water causing the butter to separate from the sugar. So, I omitted all water from the recipe and tweaked this a bit to come up with this amazing soft crunch buttery toffee that is on the video. I have been told that it is the best buttery toffee there is! If you try this, please leave a comment and let me know how you like it. Thanks. BIG TIP: Use a good butter like Land O' Lakes. This recipe might not turn out as well if you use cheap butter that has more water content. I suggest Land O'Lakes for this recipe (and most other recipes as well.).

INGREDIENT LIST and RECIPE
1 cup whole almonds, natural
8 ounces of milk chocolate
1 cup salted butter, cubed
1 cup sugar
1 - 2 teaspoons vanilla

DIRECTIONS:
Toast the almonds by placing them in a shallow cookie pan and placing them in a preheated 350-degree oven for about 5 - 10 minutes. Then use a food processor and chop the almonds till coarsely chopped. Line a 9" x 13" casserole dish with lightly-buttered parchment paper. Sprinkle the almonds on the parchment paper. Set aside.

Chop the chocolate into small pieces. I do this by hand and do not use a food processor. Set aside.

Start the toffee. Mix butter and sugar In a heavy 2-4 quart pan. A bottom heavy pan works great because it heats more evenly. Cook over medium-low heat. Stir gently ever so often. Do not over-stir because this can lead the sugar to crystalize. As soon as the butter melts, you can up the heat to about medium. Still do not stir too often. Another idea is to leave your stirring whisk in the mixture so it will be the same temperature as the mixture. Bring to a boil. Add the candy thermometer and continue to cook and stir ever so often, but not too much, until the candy thermometer reaches 290 degrees. If you want a harder crunch, cook to a higher temperature. I like 290 because that is what gives it a gentler, softer crunch.

Immediately pour the mixture over your almonds. Let sit for about just about a minute. (See the video for details.) Sprinkle the chocolate on top of the mixture. Cover for about 2-4 minutes. Uncover and spread the chocolate. An option is to sprinkle the rest of the almonds on top of the chocolate. Set in the refrigerator until the chocolate has set and then remove. Break into pieces of your desired sizes. Store in a covered container.
