    03 Method
    • Step 1
      Prepare a 4x8 loaf pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, the corn syrup, and the salt. Stir until the brown sugar dissolves.
    • Step 2
      Once the brown sugar melts, start your timer and cook the candy for exactly 6 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. If you want to use a candy thermometer, stir and boil the toffee until it reaches 290℉.
    • Step 3
      After 6 minutes, pull the toffee pan from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of the chopped toasted almonds. Scrape the toffee into the prepared loaf pan—it should be in a layer about 1/2-inch thick.
    • Step 4
      Let the toffee sit for about 3 minutes, then use a pizza cutter or paring knife to cut the toffee into thin bars about 1/2-inch wide by 2.5-inches long. These will look like small pieces, but once they are dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts, they'll be substantially bigger.
    • Step 5
      After another 2 minutes, go over your cuts again as the toffee continues to harden. As you wait for your coffee to set, chop the remaining 1 cup of toasted almonds very finely.
    • Step 6
      Alternatively, put them in a food processor and pulse for several seconds until they are in very small pieces. Pour the finely chopped almonds into a shallow bowl.
    • Step 7
      Once the toffee is completely cool and set, break it into pieces along the lines you made, and trim off any jagged edges with a knife.
    • Step 8
      Melt the chocolate or candy coating. Dip each piece of almond buttercrunch in the melted chocolate, then place it in the bowl of nuts.
    • Step 9
      Roll it around until it is coated with nuts on all sides. Take it out with a fork and place it on a baking sheet. Repeat until all the toffee pieces are coated with chocolate and nuts.
    • Step 10
      Refrigerate the tray for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate. Bring to room temperature, then serve and enjoy!
