1
cup unblanched whole almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
-
3/4
cup semisweet chocolate pieces
-
3/4
cup milk chocolate pieces
-
1/3
cup white baking pieces
-
2
tablespoons malted milk powder
-
1
cup butter
-
1
cup sugar
-
3
tablespoons water
1. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. In a bowl combine chopped almonds, semisweet and milk chocolate pieces, and white baking pieces. Sprinkle half (about 1-1/2 cups) of the nut/chocolate piece mixture over the bottom of prepared baking pan. Sprinkle malted milk powder over mixture in pan.
2. In a 2-quart heavy saucepan combine butter, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Clip a candy thermometer to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until thermometer registers 290 degree F (soft-crack stage), about 15 minutes. Mixture should boil at a steady rate over the entire surface. (Adjust heat as necessary so that mixture does not boil over.)
3. Remove from heat; remove thermometer. Pour mixture quickly over nuts and chocolate pieces in pan. Immediately sprinkle remaining nut/chocolate piece mixture over toffee. Cool about 1 hour before breaking into pieces. If necessary, chill 15 minutes or until chocolate is firm. Makes about 2 pounds (36 servings).

I tried this last night and brought it to work, everyone loved and and wanted the recipe, I did not use the malted milk powder, though.
12/22/2010 11:16:12 AM Report AbuseNo the malted milk is not necessary! I loved this recipe but I tweaked it a bit. I omitted the malted milk powder and substituted the almonds for chopped hazelnuts and used half a bag of milk chocolate chips and half a bag of butterscotch chips per batch . . . it was delicious!!!!!

11/30/2010 08:02:27 PM Report AbuseYou can purchase Malt powder in most any grocery store. I have found it close to the instant hot chocolate mixes, or sometimes with the ice cream toppings. It usually comes in a dark colored jar and it is used when making Malts. It is not the same as Ovaltine.
