Toffee

Ingredients

• 1 cup Butter (salted)
• 1 cup Brown Sugar (Packed)
• 1/2 cup Almonds (slivered) (Toasted)
• 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (Gluten-Free)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 teaspoon Sea Salt (Flaky)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Almond Flour
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter browns and has a nutty aroma. This will take about 5-7 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir in the brown sugar, water, almond flour, cornstarch and baking soda into the browned butter. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.

4. 4

   Continue boiling, stirring constantly, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard-crack stage) on a candy thermometer. If you don't have a thermometer, test by dropping a small amount into cold water; it should form hard, brittle threads.

5. 5

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

6. 6

   Immediately pour the toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a thin, even layer.

7. 7

   Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Let them sit for a minute to soften, then spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee.

8. 8

   Sprinkle the toasted almonds and sea salt over the chocolate.

9. 9

   Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator for faster setting.

10. 10

    Once the toffee is set, break it into pieces and serve.
