Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 6 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 1/3 cup whole almonds
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pan: Begin by greasing a slightly edged cookie sheet pan. This will provide the perfect surface for spreading and cooling your toffee. (Alternatively, you can use a jelly roll pan.)

2. Cook the Toffee Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, water, and light corn syrup. Stir the mixture well and place it over medium heat. It’s crucial to use a candy thermometer for precise temperature control. Cook the mixture until it reaches 260 degrees Fahrenheit. Be cautious as it will vigorously boil, ensuring you handle it with care as it’s hot!

3. Avoid Scorching: While the mixture cooks, stir occasionally but refrain from scraping down the sides of the pan. Doing so could introduce graininess to the candy, so gentle stirring is key.

4. Add the Almonds: Once the temperature reaches 260 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s time to add the whole almonds. Stir them into the mixture continuously but gently. Keep a close eye until the temperature climbs to exactly 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

5. Pour and Spread: Remove the saucepan from the heat and swiftly pour the hot toffee onto the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to the edges and corners.

6. Top with Chocolate: Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee. As the toffee retains heat, it will gradually melt the chocolate. After a few minutes, use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly, ensuring it covers the entire surface of the toffee.

7. Optional: Add Walnuts: For an extra layer of flavor and crunch, sprinkle chopped walnuts over the melted chocolate. Feel free to customize with your preferred nuts such as almonds, peanuts, or macadamias.

8. Cool Completely: Allow the toffee to cool completely, which typically takes around 2 hours or more. The cooling process is essential for achieving that perfect crunch and texture.

9. Break and Enjoy: Once cooled, break the toffee into pieces using your hands or a knife. Exercise restraint as it can be tempting to indulge in this delectable treat. Share with loved ones or savor it as a special indulgence for yourself!
