CHOCOLATE TOFFEE



INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup slivered blanched almonds
- 1/2 cup whole cashews
- 1 tablespoon baking cocoa
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup hot water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
DIRECTIONS
In small bowl combine almonds, cashews and cocoa; set aside. In large saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, water and salt; bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved.
Stir in nut mixture. Insert candy thermometer. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil; boil until mixture reaches 300°F or until a small amount of mixture dropped into cold water forms a ball.
Remove from heat; immediately stir in butter and baking soda. Pour onto a well greased large baking sheet. Using 2 forks pull mixture into a rectangle.
Drop chocolate chips onto hot toffee; let melt. Spread melted chocolate over toffee. Let cool completely (1-2 hours). Break into small pieces.
