Ingredients

  • 1 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 16 ounces sliced almonds
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°
  • Butter four 9″ foil pie plates.

  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often.
  • Boil, stirring constantly, for 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add nuts.
  • Stir to keep mixture from separating as you pour it into prepared pans.
  • Using back of spoon, or fingers dipped in cold water, pat mixture evenly over bottoms of pans (toffee should be 1/4″ thick).
  • Bake 8-12 minutes until golden brown.
  • Cool slightly, then refrigerate 5-10 minutes until toffee is firm enough to separate from the sides of the pie plates.
  • Remove toffee and cut into 16 wedges.
