Almond Toffee With Chocolate On Top Recipe
- 10 ounce Finely minced almonds, toasted
- 1 1/4 c. Granulated sugar
- 1 lb Butter, unsalted
- 250 gm Plain chocolate
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/3 c. Golden brown syrup
- 1/3 c. White rum
- 1 tsp Salt
- In a pan of boiling water, place a tin of golden brown syrup that will soften the syrup.
- In a heated pan, heat the sugar and add in the rum and 1/3 c. of the golden brown syrup.
- This mix needs to be stirred every so often and allowed to reach 300C.
- Be careful not to get the mix on yourself as it will burn you.
- Place a sheet of foil over the pan and leave it to boil away for 4-5 min.
- Add in the butter and allow it to heat in.
- Place a thermometer into the centre of the mix to test the temperature of the toffee mix.
- It will go frothy, sticky and golden.
- When it has reached 300C take the pan off the heat and add the baking soda, 1 1/2 c. finely minced almonds and salt.
- Stir the mix quickly, then pour it all into a well greased baking tray and allow it to cold down and set.
- Heat the chocolate slowly in a bowl over a pan of boiling water.
- When the toffee has set, tip it out into another tray.
- With a sheet of kitchen paper, wipe off the excess grease from the top of the toffee and pour the melted chocolate over the top, spreading proportionately with a palette knife.
- Sprinkle the rest of the almonds on top and allow the chocolate to set.
- When the chocolate has set, the toffee can be broken up with a sharp knife and then served.
