How to Make Almond Toffee In 17 Minutes

  1. Combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Cook, without stirring, until the mixture reaches a light amber color (around 320°F if you have a thermometer, but color is a good indicator for this speedy recipe), approximately 8-10 minutes. Watch carefully, as it can go from perfect to burnt quickly.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1/2 cup unsalted butter, stirring until melted and combined.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup sliced almonds.
  5. Pour the toffee mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading evenly.
  6. While the toffee is still warm and slightly pliable, sprinkle 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped, and 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped, evenly over the top.
  7. Let it cool and set completely at room temperature (about 15 minutes), then break into pieces.
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
