Coffee Flavored English Butter Toffee is a deliciously crunchy and sweet candy that is perfect for a midday snack or after dinner dessert. This candy is made from butter, sugar, corn syrup, double strength espresso, semi-sweet chocolate and chopped almonds. The ingredients are cooked together and then poured onto a baking sheet to cool and harden, resulting in a mouth-watering toffee that is ideal for sharing with friends and family. The espresso coffee adds a subtle coffee flavor that pairs well with the rich chocolate and crunchy almonds. This treat is perfect for those with a sweet tooth, and is sure to satisfy any craving for something sweet and delicious.

Instructions

1.	Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2.	In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
3.	Add the sugar, corn syrup, and espresso and stir until combined.
4.	Increase the heat to medium and cook the toffee, whisking occasionally, until it reaches 300°F on a candy thermometer, or until it begins to turn golden brown.
5.	Remove the toffee from the heat and quickly pour it into the prepared baking dish.
6.	Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the hot toffee and use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly.
7.	Scatter the chopped almonds over the chocolate and gently press them down with a spatula or your fingertips to ensure they stick to the chocolate.
8.	Allow the toffee to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours or until it is completely firm.
9.	Once cooled, break the toffee into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container.
