Roasted Almond Bark

I love Baker By Nature - I follow her on Instagram and so enjoy Ashley's recipes.

I have made several of her recipes.  When I spotted her "3 Ingredient Toffee Bark", I knew I had to make it.  Please visit Baker by Nature for all of her helpful hints regarding this chocolate toffee bark. It was so easy and it is so yummy.... I am making it again today!   I love chocolate, roasted almonds and toffee!!!

I used Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate bars.  I did cheat and buy roasted almonds - I didn't roast my own. :(..... And.... I topped it with sea salt.  I also broke mine into irregular shaped pieces instead of cutting into neat squares like Ashley

This recipe looks fabulous and tastes even better!!  LOVE IT!!

Graham Cracker Toffee

I love toffee and anything toffee related. This is a quick and easy toffee recipe that my family loves. I love that I almost always have the items on hand so I could whip this up anytime we need a treat - for us or for a party!

Graham Cracker Toffee

graham crackers
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
12 oz milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and then line with graham crackers. Boil butter and brown sugar until mixture bubbles; Immediately pour mixture over crackers. Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes. Pour chocolate chips over toffee as soon as removed from oven. Chocolate will soon melt, spread evenly with knife. Refrigerated until hard, break apart and serve. Store in an airtight container - but it won't last long!

English Toffee with Cashews

I teach 3 year old preschool and one of my mom's shared this yummy recipe with me. I tried English Toffee in the past and never got that perfect texture. Gina was encouraging and told me I could do this. I gave it another try and it was AMAZING! I don't think I have had toffee with the nuts in the toffee. Typically, it is plain toffee with chocolate on the top and the some type of nuts sprinkled on the chocolate. I made this toffee both ways…but I really like the cashews in the toffee the best. The key for perfect toffee is a candy thermometer and not giving up until you reach that hard crack stage of about 302 degrees. This is easy - YOU can do it too. Give it a try - your family will love you!

I made this toffee without any nuts-also yummy. Another favorite is chopped, salted almonds on bottom with dark chocolate on top… then finely chopped almonds sprinkled on top with sea salt flakes. 
 

English Toffee 

2 sticks butter 

1 cup sugar 

pinch salt 

Salted  cashew pieces 

Milk chocolate chips 

Butter a glass dish and sprinkle with cashews. In a heavy pan, melt butter, sugar and salt on medium high stirring constantly. Mixture will start to boil and turn amber-colored.   Mixture will be foamy. Boil for about 12 minutes or until your candy thermometer reaches hard crack stage - don't give up.  When it reaches about 302 degree F, pour evenly over cashews. This hardens immediately so pour it where you want it to go. Top with Hershey bars or I just sprinkle milk chocolate chips evenly over the top. Allow a minute or so to melt and spread with a knife. After chocolate has hardened, score with a knife and cut into squares or break apart. Enjoy this TO DIE FOR treat! Printable Version
