Toffee

1. 1

   Prepare a large cookie sheet or jelly roll pan by coating it with butter.

2. 2

   Melt butter in a heavy 2-quart saucepan.

3. 3

   Add sugar, corn syrup and water and cook until hard crack stage (300u00b0F or, as Mom says, cook until it is the same color as an old penny).

4. 4

   Immediately pour onto prepared pan. Wait only a couple minutes for it to solidify then, while it's still warm, spread milk chocolate on top. Allow the heat of the toffee to melt the chocolate then spread chocolate with a spatula.

5. 5

   Sprinkle almonds on top and lightly press into melted chocolate. When completely cool, break into pieces and store in a covered container.
