Name: Chocolate-Covered Almond Toffee
Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 1 3/4 hr
Yield: Makes about 3 1/2 lb
Ingredients: 1 cup slivered or sliced almonds (about 4 ounces), toasted; 3 cups walnuts (10 ounces); 2 (3 1/2- to 4-ounce) bars fine-quality milk chocolate; 2 (3 1/2- to 4-ounce) bars fine-quality bittersweet chocolate; 1 lb salted butter plus additional for greasing; 2 cups sugar; 2 tablespoons water; 2 large (17- by 13-inch) baking sheets; a candy or deep-fat thermometer

Joe Miller of Glasgow, Montana, writes: "Though this recipe was introduced to me by a college friend from Anchorage, it originated — generations ago — in Charlotte, North Carolina. Today, it is a Miller family tradition."

Featuring the crunch of toffee, the creaminess of chocolate (a combination of milk and bittersweet), and a finishing sprinkle of walnuts, this sweet snack has all the bases covered.
