Chocolate Nut Crunch Recipe
 
 
Author::
Recipe type: chocolate
Ingredients:
  • 115 grams slivered almonds
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 150 grams butter
  • 1 cup grated chocolate (I used Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate and this equated to approx 5 rows of a 200gm block.)
Method:
  1. Lightly toast almonds under a grill or in a pan.
  2. Sprinkle nuts onto a lined baking tray.
  3. In a saucepan melt butter and sugar together. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
  4. You need to keep the mixture at boil for about 4-5 minutes. This for me was the tricky part, it goes from not being burnt to burning pretty quickly and it continues to cook when you take it off the heat. You don't want the mixture to start darkening like the photo above!
  5. You need to do these next couple of steps pretty quickly. Pour the mixture over the almonds, spreading with a large metal spoon if needed.
  6. Sprinkle chocolate over the toffee and then cover. Leave the cover on for a couple of minutes, so the chocolate can melt.
  7. If the chocolate hasn't fully melted, place the metal spoon in hot water, dry it off and then smooth the chocolate out with the back of the spoon.
  8. Place the tray in the fridge so the nut crunch sets.
  9. Once set, break it up into pieces. It is quite sweet, so the pieces don't need to be too large.
