Recipe

Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins Ready Time: 1 hr 20 mins


• in a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees f (137 degrees c). stir occasionally.
• while the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• as soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out the prepared baking sheet. sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. putting a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
• place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.
