Ingredients
- 7 ounce Hershey's chocolate bar
- 6 ounce Chocolate chips
- 1 lb Lightly salted butter
- 2 c. Sugar
- 1 c. Slivered raw almonds
- 1 1/4 c. Minced pecans
Directions
- Place chocolate in a small saucepan or possibly in a double-boiler top. Set pan over warm, not boiling water. Stir with wooden spoon till melted. Don't allow steam or possibly water to touch chocolate. Set aside.
- Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Slowly add in sugar, stirring slowly but constantly. Cook till sugar is dissolved. Mix will no longer feel grainy when rubbed between fingers. BE CAREFFUL NOT TO BURN FINGERS. Mix IS VERY Warm! On my stove, this takes about 20 min after the sugar has been added.
- Add in almonds to mix. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly. Mix will be very thick. (Do not be alarmed if butter separates during cooking. Just continue stirring.) Cook till mix registers 300 degrees (hard crack stage) on candy thermometer. At this point, the mix is amber-colored, starts to liquefy to syrup and begins to smoke.
- Pour immediately into buttered 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1/2 inch deep cookie sheet set on a wire cooling rack. Spread mix proportionately over pan. Set aside for 2 to 3 min, just till top sets.
- Pour reserved chocolate over toffee. Wait 30 seconds, then spread proportionately over top. Sprinkle with minced pecans. Roll pecans gently with drinking glass to press pecans into chocolate. Set aside for several hrs or possibly overnight till toffee is set.
- Break toffee into uneven pcs. Toffee can be store in tin in a cold spot for up to 2 months. (It will not be around which long!)
- Makes about 3 pounds.
