Ingredients

  • 226 g (1 c) Earth Balance Buttery Spread
  • 200 g (1 c) Vegan Sugar
  • 10 g (2 tsp) Vanilla Extract
  • 30 g (2 TBS) Water
  • 10 oz Vegan Chocolate Chips
  • 60 g (1/3 c) Finely Chopped Almonds

Instructions

  1. Toast your chopped almonds on a baking sheet for five minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use any nut you like, but almonds are my favorite in this recipe.

  2. Line a half sheet pan with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper and keep it near your burner. Have your chocolate chips and chopped almonds ready as well.

  3. Add the vegan sugar, water, vanilla, and vegan butter to a medium-sized saucepan. I use Zulka sugar and Earth Balance Buttery Spread. I do not like the sticks in this recipe as it has an off flavor when heated in candy, so I recommend getting the Earth Balance spread in a tub.

  4. Heat over medium heat while stirring continuously until the vegan butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Increase the temperature to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat as needed to keep the syrup from boiling over.

  5. When the color gets darker and the caramel starts to thicken, clip a candy thermometer to the side of the of the pan or check the temperature often with a probe. Remove from the heat as soon as the caramel reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

  6. Pour the caramel onto your prepared pan immediately and spread it out quickly.

  7. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee. Let the chocolate chips get melty, then spread them out evenly over the toffee.

  8. Sprinkle the chopped almonds over the melted chocolate. Press lightly on the nuts to make sure they stick to the chocolate. (Do this carefully so you don’t spread chocolate on top of the nuts.)

  9. Let the toffee cool completely and be sure that the chocolate is fully hardened. Break the toffee into small pieces and store them in an airtight container. Add a piece of waxed paper between each layer of toffee. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

  • 10 oz of mini chocolate chips is about 1 1/2 cups, 10 oz of regular chocolate chips is about 1 2/3 cups, and 10 oz of chocolate chunks is about 1 3/4 cups. If you use chocolate chunks, chop them up a bit so they will melt more easily.
