Not sure if this is the same as the English Toffee you are refering to, but
its easy to make, and delicious.

-----------------------------------------
Almond Roca

1 lb Butter - do not use margarine
2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp corn syrup
2 cups toasted slivered almonds, divided
8 oz good quality chocolate, divided

Melt butter in heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir in sugar until disolved.
Add in water and corn syrup.

Cook over low heat stirring often but gently until candy thermometer reads
290F or 142C. Remove from heat.

Stir in 1 1/3 cup amount of almonds to mixture. Pour onto greased 10x15 inch
shallow pan about and let cool.

Melt 4 oz of chocolate and spread on candy. Then sprinkle with 1/2 of the
remaining almonds.

When chocolate has hardened, carefully turn it over, into another pan. Melt
remaining chocolate, spread over candy and sprinkle with remaining almonds.

Let the chocolate harden, and break into pieces.

I have made this with all kinds of chocolate, dark, milk, and white. I have
used different kinds of nuts as well. My favorite is marbling dark with
white, and using macadamia nuts instead of almonds. Heavenly!

DO NOT DOUBLE THIS RECIPE, the candy will come out sticky.

This is soo good. I put it in small gold foil lined boxes and give as gifts
at Christmas.
