Ingredients

1 cup whole raw almonds
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup cubed butter 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups milk chocolate chips
¼ cup finely chopped pecans

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients and have them measured before you start this recipe.
Place the 1 cup whole raw almonds on a plate and microwave them for 2-3 minutes on HIGH to toast them.
Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with foil and place the toasted almonds in a single layer on the sheet.
Add the 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup cubed butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon salt to a large heavy-bottom saucepan and melt over medium heat, stirring constantly.
When the ingredients are completely melted, continuously stir and gradually increase the heat to medium-high. Keep stirring for 10-15 minutes until the toffee is a golden brown color. As soon as it reaches the right color, quickly pour the toffee over the almonds in the prepared pan.
Let it cool for about 2-3 minutes, then sprinkle with 2 cups milk chocolate chips. Let it rest for another couple of minutes so the chocolate chips will melt, then spread the melted chocolate over the toffee.
Sprinkle the ¼ cup finely chopped pecans over the melted chocolate and let the toffee cool completely.
After the toffee and chocolate are completely cooled, use a butter knife to break apart the toffee. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
