- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped toasted almonds
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Pour the toffee mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly using a spatula.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the warm toffee. Allow them to melt, then spread the melted chocolate evenly over the toffee.
- Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the melted chocolate, gently pressing them into the surface.
- Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature until it hardens and sets.
- Once cooled, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces.
