INGREDIENTS
  • 1/2 cup slivered blanched almonds

  • 1 tablespoon baking cocoa
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup hot water

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.

Drop chocolate chips onto hot toffee; let melt. Spread melted chocolate over toffee. Let cool completely (1-2 hours). Break into small pieces.
