What I had:
- Wilton brownie squares silicone pan
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup white chocolate dipping wafers, melted
- 1 cup unblanched whole almonds
- some somewhat finely ground pecans
- Placed 3 almonds in each cavity of the brownie pan.
- Put butter, margarine, sugar and salt in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
- Brought it to a boil while stirring continuously.
- Continued stirring like a mad woman for 6.5 minutes (or till candy starts to brown a bit and thickens, coming off the sides of the pan). Jeff jumped in for a minute when my arm started to hurt.
- Used a tablespoon scoop to scoop into each cavity over the almonds.
- Let it cool completely before popping them out.
- Taste tested one, shared with Jeff. Taste tested another from the other side just to make sure.
- Melted the wafers in the microwave.
- Dipped one side of the toffee in the chocolate and pressed it into the ground almonds.
- Tasted one more and decided to let the chocolate set.
- Tasted another after the chocolate set just to make sure it was still good.
- Put the rest in an airtight container and in the fridge to avoid more tasting.
Delicious almond toffee dipped in white chocolate and crushed pecans |
I'll get consistent next time :-P |
