Easy Toffee Recipe

How to make Toffee

3/4 cup roughly chopped almonds (or nut of choice)
1/4 cup finely chopped almonds (of nut of choice)
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Butter a 9" square pan.
Sprinkle the roughly chopped nuts in the bottom of the pan.
In a medium saucepan, bring butter and sugar to a boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes together and starts to smoke. (About 7 minutes in...you'll see it. And no, there's no bad smell.)
Working quickly, but not in a panic, pour the hot mixture over the nuts and spread it gently over the nuts.
Sprinkle with chocolate chips and set a baking sheet (or other object) on the top to melt the chocolate.
After a few minutes, remove the cover and gently spread the melted chocolate over the butter/sugar layer with an offset spatula.
Sprinkle with the finely chopped nuts, score with a knife and let cool for several hours (at room temp or in the fridge). Break into pieces once cooled.
