Best Toffee Ever - Super Easy

Gather all ingredients. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with a sheet of parchment paper, allowing it to overhang on two sides of the dish for easy removal later.

Combine 2 cups butter, 2 cups sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.

Stir the mixture constantly in one direction until the butter is completely melted, approximately 5 minutes.

Once melted, stop stirring and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook, stirring only 2 to 3 times, until the mixture turns a dark amber color and the temperature reaches 285 degrees F (137 degrees C) on a candy thermometer. This will take 20 to 30 minutes.

Immediately pour the hot toffee into the prepared parchment-lined baking dish.

Sprinkle 2 cups of chocolate chips evenly over the top of the hot toffee and let them sit undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes until softened.

Use a spatula to spread the softened chocolate into a thin, even layer over the toffee.

Sprinkle 1 cup of finely chopped almonds over the wet chocolate and press down slightly to adhere (using a plastic bag over your hand helps minimize mess).

Place the toffee in the refrigerator until set and hardened, about 1 hour.

Lift the hardened toffee out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Break into pieces by hand or with a kitchen mallet before serving.
