Ingredients for the Easy English Toffee Recipe
Whole, Raw Almonds- The whole almonds will be toasted for maximum flavor and then placed in the toffee to have crunchy almonds bites throughout. Butter– Butter is needed for the texture and flavor of the toffee. Do not substitute butter with margarine. Sugar– The key to cooking candy like this toffee is heating up sugar until it has caramelized. Salt & Vanilla– Salt and Vanilla are both needed for flavor. If you like a more salty toffee, add extra salt. Go for sea salt if you like chunkier bites of salt! Milk Chocolate Chips– I added milk chocolate chips on top of the warm toffee and spread the chocolate on top. You can also use dark chocolate if you prefer! Chopped Pecans– A sprinkle of chopped pecans over the top of the toffee adds flavor, texture, and makes the toffee look amazing!

Expert Tips
Make sure you keep an eye on your toffee as it is cooking and keep stirring it. If you take your eye off of it, it can burn very quickly! Anytime you are cooking with sugar, be very careful to not get it on your skin. Hot sugar can burn your skin easily, so take care when pouring the toffee mixture into the baking pan. If you don’t like almonds or pecans, you can skip the nuts! Or, add in whatever type of nut you prefer. Peanuts, cashews, walnuts, and macadamia nuts would all be delicious in this easy english toffee recipe! Sprinkle crushed up candy canes onto the top of the melted chocolate for peppermint english toffee. Yum! Or, for a more sweet and salty vibe, add broken pretzels to the top of the melted chocolate. For color and added flavors, add little candies to the top of the cooling chocolate (it should be soft but not hot) like mini M&Ms, Reese’s cups, white chocolate chips, or other little candies you enjoy.
