Adapted from the recipe of Mary Monroe. If anyone can give me an idea for how to break up the toffee into 1/8 inch bits without having a lot of toffee dust, let me know.
Ingredients
2 cups sugar
2 cups butter
1 or 2 cups almonds chopped very finely (optional*)
1/2 cup almonds chopped coarsely for topping (optional)**
8 milk chocolate bars (optional)**
Directions
Over medium-high heat, melt butter.
Add sugar and chopped almonds*.
Use a candy thermometer to heat to 300° (hard crack).
Quickly spread as thinly as possible on a pre-greased baking sheet.
The thinner, the better.
Allow to cool, then smash it up into 1/8" bits or at least as small as you can without turning it into toffee dust.
Store in 5 oz. portions in a cool, dry place.
DO NOT FREEZE!!!

*1 cup of nuts for using with Husky Treats; 2 cups to make "real" toffee.
**If you are making "real" toffee: after the toffee has cooled, melt chocolate bars on the top and sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped nuts over the melted chocolate before it cools.

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
