Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper, leaving overhang over edges. Arrange graham crackers over bottom, cutting with serrated knife to fit and minimizing any gaps between crackers. Set aside.
Step 2:
Place toffee pieces in a 4 cup (1 L) microwaveable glass measure or bowl. Add evaporated milk and butter; microwave at High for 3 minutes or until bubbling vigorously. Stir until smooth.
Step 3:
Pour over graham crackers, spreading as evenly and as close to cracker edges as possible without going over edges. Sprinkle almonds evenly over top; press in gently. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Let come to room temperature before serving.
Step 4:
Grasp wax paper and lift from pan. Using sharp knife, cut into 1.5 x 2 inch (4 x 6 cm) pieces; peel off wax paper.
