List of Ingredients



• 1 cup unblanched whole almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
  
• 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate pieces
  
• 3/4 cup milk chocolate pieces
  
• 1/3 cup white baking pieces
  
• 2 Tbsp malted milk powder
  
• 1 cup butter
  
• 1 cup sugar
  
• 3 Tbsp water
  






Instructions



1. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. In a bowl, combine chopped almonds, semisweet and milk chocolate pieces, and white baking pieces. Sprinkle half (about 1/2 cup) of the nut/chocolate piece mixture over the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle malted milk powder over mixture in pan.
   
   
2. In a 2-quart heavy saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Clip a candy thermometer to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until thermometer registers 290° F (soft-crack stage), about 15 minutes. Mixture should boil at a steady rate over the entire surface. (Adjust heat as necessary so that the mixture does not boil over.)
   
   
3. Remove from heat; remove thermometer. Pour mixture quickly over nuts and chocolate pieces in pan. Immediately sprinkle remaining nut/chocolate mixture over toffee. Cool about 1 hour before breaking into pieces. If necessary, chill 15 minutes or until chocolate is firm.
