1/2
cup coarsely chopped almonds or pecans, toasted

1
cup butter

1
cup sugar
-
3
tablespoons water
-
1
tablespoon light-colored corn syrup
-
3/4
cup semisweet chocolate pieces
-
1/2
cup finely chopped almonds or pecans, toasted
1. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts in pan. Set pan aside.
2. Butter sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. In saucepan melt butter. Add sugar, water, and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture boils. Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan. Reduce heat to medium; continue boiling at a moderate, steady rate, stirring frequently, till thermometer registers 290 degree F, soft-crack stage (about 15 minutes). Watch carefully after 280 degree F to prevent scorching. Remove saucepan from heat; remove thermometer. Pour candy into the prepared pan.
3. Let candy stand about 5 minutes or till firm; sprinkle with chocolate. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes. When chocolate has softened, spread over candy. Sprinkle with the 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts. Chill until firm. When candy is firm, use foil to lift it out of pan; break into pieces. Store tightly covered. Makes about 1-1/2 pounds (48 servings).

12/20/2011 02:04:46 PM Report AbuseMy whole family LOVED this Butter Toffee recipe and it was so easy to make ! When completely cook I cracked pieces off and filled those chinese to-go style gift boxes (line the box with parchment paper) to give as gifts for the Holidays. Add a bow to the top off the box for a finishing touch ! Not only is it a gorgeous gift but Oh so yummy !
