This is a favorite treat for the holidays but I've come to the conclusion that one doesn't always have to wait for Christmas trees to sprout up in our living rooms to enjoy a batch of these candies. The only real trick to getting a good batch is making sure you don't leave the room and maintain the level at rolling boil not burning sugar!
ALMOND TOFFEE AT HOME
1 ½ sticks butter, no substitutes
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup toasted and coarsely chopped almonds
Melt the butter and sugars together in a pot and bring to a gentle rolling boil. Maintain the rolling boil for five minutes, stirring constantly. Add the nuts, bring to a rolling boil and continue for another five minutes, stirring to prevent burning.
Spread the mixture on a sheet of greased foil (heavily use any vegetable oil spray.). Sprinkle with chocolate chips and spread out as they melt. Put in the refrigerator until set. Break into pieces and store in a closed container in a cool place.
