HOW TO MAKE BUTTERSCOTCH ALMOND TOFFEE, IF YOU LIKED IT SAY HELLO
- 2 cups butter 1 pound
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup slivered almonds
- 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 tsp shortening divided
-
Line a 15×10 – inch baking pan with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray. (This is a jellyroll size pan.) Set aside.
-
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and salt. Melt the butter over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
-
Clip a candy thermometer to the saucepan and continue cooking and stirring the mixture until it reaches 290 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Stir in the vanilla extract and slivered almonds; pour toffee into the prepared pan. Top the pan to spread the toffee evenly. Place the pan on a rack to cool.
-
In a small bowl combine butterscotch chips and half of the shortening. Combine the milk chocolate chips and the remaining shortening in a separate bowl.
-
Heat on high in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chips have fully melted and are smooth.
-
Use an offset spatula to spread the butterscotch and chocolate on top of the cooled toffee.
-
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
-
Break into pieces and serve.
