Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup roasted almonds, chopped
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water to the saucepan and stir until combined.

Step 4

Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and cook the mixture without stirring until it reaches 290°F (143°C), which is the hard crack stage.

Step 5

Remove the pan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and chopped roasted almonds.

Step 6

Carefully pour the hot mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly with a heat-resistant spatula.

Step 7

Allow the toffee to cool for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle the chocolate chips over the surface while it is still warm.

Step 8

Let the chocolate sit for 2-3 minutes to melt, then gently spread it into an even layer using an offset spatula.

Step 9

Let the almond butter crunch cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set.

Step 10

Once fully hardened, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
