Nutcrackers
Nutty Toffee – ohhh so good!
The delicious toffee is fairly simple to make – be sure to cook it when the weather is dry – too much moisture in the air will keep it from forming properly (and always use REAL butter.)
NUTTY TOFFEE
Set aside. Place in an 11 x 17″ jelly roll pan
3 C deluxe mixed nuts (no peanuts)
Rub the inside of a large heavy pan with butter, then melt over low heat
1 1/2 C salted butter
add
1 1/2 C sugar
3 TBSP water
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pour over mixed nuts in baking pan. Immediately spread with
12 oz. milk chocolate chips
Place an inverted 11 x 17″ pan over the toffee mixture. Allow chocolate chips to melt for
about 5 minutes, then using a knife or spatula, spread the chocolate chips evenly over the
surface of the toffee. Sprinkle with toasted chopped almonds. Place in the freezer for a few
minutes to quickly cool toffee. Break apart into chunks with a knife. Store in an airtight
container.
