Ingredients

Scale

Toffee Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup roasted almonds, chopped

White Chocolate Topping

  • 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Almond Layer: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the chopped roasted almonds in an even layer to create the base for the toffee.
  2. Combine Toffee Ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, light corn syrup, and sea salt.
  3. Melt and Dissolve: Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently until the butter has melted and the sugars are fully dissolved.
  4. Cook to Hard Crack Stage: Attach a candy thermometer and continue cooking, stirring carefully, until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage), ensuring the toffee will have the proper crispness.
  5. Add Vanilla: Remove the pan from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
  6. Pour Toffee Over Almonds: Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the prepared almonds and spread it with a heat-safe spatula to an even layer.
  7. Cool Toffee: Let the toffee cool at room temperature, about 30 to 45 minutes, until it is firm and fully set.
  8. Melt White Chocolate: While the toffee cools, melt the white chocolate melting wafers until smooth. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled toffee layer.
  9. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with ground cinnamon to create the churro-inspired topping.
  10. Apply Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the still-soft white chocolate and gently press it in so it adheres well.
  11. Set and Serve: Let the white chocolate set completely before cutting the toffee into squares or breaking it into pieces for serving.

Notes

  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the toffee reaches the hard crack stage for the ideal crisp texture.
  • Allow the toffee to cool completely before spreading the white chocolate to prevent the chocolate from melting unevenly.
  • Store finished toffee in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to maintain freshness and prevent sticking.
