Buttery Walnut Toffee

• 1 tablespoon plus 1 cup butter, softened, divided
• 1 cup whole unblanched almonds, coarsely chopped
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips, melted
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1. Line an 11x7-in. pan with foil and grease the foil with 1 tablespoon butter. Arrange almonds evenly in pan; set aside.
2. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, salt and remaining butter. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until mixture is caramel-colored and a candy thermometer reads 300u0b0 (hard-crack stage). Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Immediately pour over almonds. Cool completely.
3. Spread melted chocolate over toffee; sprinkle with walnuts. Let stand until set. Break into pieces. Store in an airtight container.
