English Toffee

Line a 9x11 with rapid release foil.

In a heavy pot, combine:
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla


Stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicon scraper, Boil ingredients 5-7 minutes or until it turns tan.  Warning: this will happen all of a sudden.  Keep a close eye on it, because it will be cream color and then very quickly turn a caramel color.  That's when you quickly get it OUT of the pot and into the pan.
Once it's in the pan, allow it to coo

Melt about 1/2 cup chocolate chips, spread chopped toasted almonds into chocolate if you like lots of almonds.  I usually do nuts either on the bottom of the toffee or on top of the chocolate, but not both.
