ALMOND BUTTER CRUNCH CANDY



Almond Butter Crunch Candy image

This is a yummy candy that I make each year to put in amongst (if that is a word) my cookies on the trays. It came from a Better Homes & Garden Candy Cookbook back in the '60s. It is one that is easy to make and comes out great every time. It is very tasty and has a great crunch if you are sure to bring it to the hard crack stage.

ALMOND BUTTERCRUNCH

Homemade almond buttercrunch candy is a delicious treat and better than store-bought. Learn how easy it is with this simple chocolate-dipped recipe.

Provided by Elizabeth LaBau

Categories     Dessert     Candy

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ounces (1 stick) butter
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 teaspoon corn syrup (light)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups almonds (toasted, whole, coarsely chopped)
8 ounces chocolate (semi-sweet or candy coating)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Prepare a 4 x 8-inch loaf pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, the corn syrup, and the salt. Stir until the brown sugar dissolves.
  • Once the brown sugar melts, start your timer and cook the candy for exactly 6 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. If you want to use a candy thermometer , stir and boil the toffee until it reaches 290 F/143 C.
  • After 6 minutes, pull the toffee pan from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of the chopped toasted almonds. Scrape the toffee into the prepared loaf pan-it should be in a layer about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Let the toffee set for about 3 minutes, then use a pizza cutter or paring knife to cut the toffee into thin bars about 1/2-inch wide x 2.5-inches long. These will look like small pieces, but once they are dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts, they'll be substantially bigger. After another 2 minutes, go over your cuts again as the toffee continues to harden.
  • As you wait for your toffee to set, chop the remaining 1 cup of toasted almonds very finely. Alternatively, put them in a food processor and pulse for several seconds until they are in very small pieces. Pour the finely chopped almonds into a shallow bowl.
  • Once the toffee is completely cool and set, break it into pieces along the lines you made, and trim off any jagged edges with a knife.
  • Melt the chocolate or candy coating. Dip each piece of almond buttercrunch in the melted chocolate, then place it in the bowl of nuts. Roll it around until it is coated with nuts on all sides. Take it out with a fork and place it on a baking sheet. Repeat until all the toffee pieces are coated with chocolate and nuts.
  • Refrigerate the tray for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate. Bring to room temperature, then serve and enjoy.
