HEATH BARS

Steps:

• Line an 11x7-inch pan with well-greased wax or parchment paper. Set aside.
• Melt the butter on low in a heavy saucepan. Stir in the sugar, syrup and water. Stirring constantly, use a candy thermometer and cook until the mixture reaches 305 degrees F.
• Pour the hot candy onto the prepared pan. Spread the mixture to the edges. Allow to sit until the mixture is stable but still hot. Spread the melted chocolate chips over the top. Sprinkle nuts over the top of the chocolate and gently press in.
• Allow the candy to cool and harden. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

• In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, vanilla and egg yolks on low speed until smooth.
• Add the flour, salt and 1 cup Heath toffee bits and stir until just combined. The mixture will be thick and crumbly.

Cook, continuing to stir, until mixture reaches 298 degrees (hard crack stage). Remove from heat and quickly stir in vanilla, then pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Smooth out with a spatula, sprinkle on almonds, then set aside to cool for at least an hour.
• Once toffee has cooled, place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30-second increments, stirring after each. Heat until just melted, then pour over cooled toffee and spread even with a spatula. Allow to harden, then break into pieces and serve.
