Ingredients
Scale
Toffee Base
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Nuts
- 1 cup roasted almonds, chopped
White Chocolate Topping
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare almonds: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and scatter the chopped roasted almonds evenly across the surface to create an even layer.
- Combine ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, water, corn syrup, and sea salt.
- Melt and dissolve: Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently until the butter melts completely and the sugars are fully dissolved.
- Cook to hard crack stage: Attach a candy thermometer to the pan and continue cooking the mixture, stirring carefully, until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
- Add vanilla: Remove the pan from the heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
- Pour toffee: Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the chopped almonds on the baking sheet and spread using a heat-safe spatula into an even layer.
- Cool to set: Let the toffee cool at room temperature without disturbance until firm, about 30 to 45 minutes.
- Melt white chocolate: Melt the white chocolate melting wafers until smooth using a double boiler or microwave.
- Spread chocolate: Evenly spread the melted white chocolate over the cooled toffee layer.
- Mix cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the churro-style topping.
- Apply cinnamon sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar generously over the soft white chocolate and gently press it in to ensure it adheres well.
- Set and serve: Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature before cutting the toffee into squares or breaking it into pieces for serving.
Notes
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure the toffee reaches the correct hard crack stage for proper texture.
- Be cautious when pouring hot toffee as it can cause burns.
- Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
- If white chocolate melting wafers are unavailable, use white chocolate chips melted carefully to avoid scorching.
- For variation, substitute almonds with other nuts like pecans or cashews.
