How to Make Almond Encrusted English Toffee

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
3. Continue to boil, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer. This is the firm-ball stage.
4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Pour the toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly to about 1/4 inch thickness.
6. Sprinkle the almonds evenly over the toffee.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. Once cool, break into pieces.
9. Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
10. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled toffee and let it set completely.
11. Break into pieces and serve.
