Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, and water. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring the tip is submerged but does not touch the bottom of the pan.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula. Once boiling, stop stirring and let the mixture cook until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage). This should take about 10-15 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.
Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer using a spatula. Work quickly as it sets fast.
Sprinkle the chopped toasted almonds evenly over the toffee while it is still warm, pressing lightly to adhere.
Scatter the chocolate chips over the warm toffee. Let them sit for 2 minutes to soften, then use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the melted chocolate into an even layer.
Optional: Sprinkle a touch of flaky sea salt over the top for added flavor.
Allow the toffee to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until set, about 1-2 hours.
Once fully hardened, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces.
Store the Toffee Almond Crunch in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
