Chocolate Almond Toffee Bark
Chocolate Almond Toffee Bark is SO EASY! A buttery toffee base topped with rich dark chocolate and crunchy toasted almonds makes this bark irresistible.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds toasted and chopped
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips 60-70% cocoa
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds evenly on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and golden. Let cool and roughly chop the almonds.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the brown sugar and salt, stirring continuously until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a gentle boil. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until thick and syrupy. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Pour the hot toffee mixture onto the sheet and spread evenly with a spatula to form a thin layer. Work quickly before it hardens.
- Sprinkle dark chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Let sit 1-2 minutes until softened, then spread melted chocolate gently with a spatula. Immediately sprinkle chopped toasted almonds over the chocolate, pressing lightly to stick.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until set and firm. Break the bark into pieces and store in an airtight container.
