Line 2 mini muffin pans with mini muffin liners.
In a heavy 2-quart saucepan combine the butter, sugar, salt, vanilla, and heat over medium to high heat, stirring constantly till the butter is melted. Continue cooking and stirring for approximately 7 to 10 minutes till candy is the color of the brown skin of the almonds. It's okay if its starts bubbling or slightly smoking, keep stirring till it's the color of the almond.
1 cup (226) unsalted butter, 1 cup (198g) granulated sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Add in the 1/3 cup of finely chopped almonds, stirring to incorporate.
1/3 cup (38g) finely chopped almonds
Working quickly, use a cookie scoop to place the toffee mixture into the mini muffin liners.
Add a handful of chocolate chips on top of each toffee. Wait 1-2 minutes and spread the melted chocolate until it is smooth over the toffee.
2 cups (340g) milk/semi-sweet chocolate chips
Top the toffee with a whole almond, chopped almonds or leave them plain.
additional whole almonds or chopped almonds to top the toffee
Let the toffee cool in the fridge until hard. Serve and enjoy. I recommend storing the toffee in the fridge so the chocolate stays cold.
