Preparation Steps

  • Line a baking dish with aluminum foil or use a silicone brownie bite pan. Arrange almonds in a single layer and set aside.
  • In a heavy saucepan, combine butter, margarine, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the butter melts and mixture starts to boil.
  • Continue boiling and stirring for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mixture reaches about 300°F (hard crack stage). Pour the hot toffee over the almonds in the prepared dish.
  • Allow the toffee to cool completely, about 2 hours. Spread melted milk chocolate evenly over the cooled toffee, then sprinkle with ground walnuts.
  • Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the fridge. Once set, break into pieces or cut into squares. Store in an airtight container.
