English Toffee
1 cup butter
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 Tab light corn syrup
3 Tab water
1 1/2 cups toasted blanched almond bits
Coating:
4 (4 1/2 oz) milk chocolate candy bars
1 cup almond bits
In a large heavy pan add butter, sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, to the hard crack stage (300 degrees F.) Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups almond bits. Spread mixture in a well greased (sprayed with Pam cooking spray) 9x13 pan. Cool.
Coating: Melt the chocolate bars. Turn cooled candy out onto waxed paper and spread with one half of the chocolate. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup almond bits. Let this set. Then turn the candy over and spread the other side with the remaining chocolate and rest of the almond bits. Chill to firm. Break into pieces.
