Butter Toffee Brittle Recipe 445

TOFFEE-STYLE BRITTLE

Steps:

• Have ready a 10×15-inch rimmed baking sheet. If the sheet is not nonstick, lightly coat it with oil.
• Combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, and 2/3 cup water in a heavy-duty 4-quart saucepan. Stir until all of the sugar is wet. Clip a candy thermometer onto the pan and cook the mixture over medium-high heat without stirring (it will be foamy) until it registers 310°F and is tan around the edges, 12 to 16 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and quickly remove the thermometer. Whisk in the baking soda (it will be foamy), and then the salt. Whisk in most of the seeds or nuts or all of the spice of your choice. Pour the mixture onto the baking sheet and tilt the sheet to spread it evenly. Sprinkle any remaining nuts or seeds on top. Cool completely on the baking sheet on a rack at room temperature, about 1-1/2 hours.
• Invert the brittle onto a large cutting board. Use a meat mallet, rolling pin, or your hands to break it up into medium-to-small pieces. The brittle can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.

Use a rolling pin to gently roll the candy to be even thickness in the pan. Do this while the mixture is still hot. Let the mixture cool.

BEST TOFFEE EVER - SUPER EASY

Steps:

• In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.
• While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. Putting a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
• Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.

EASY BUTTER TOFFEE

Steps:

• Rub the top of a microwavable mixing bowl with (extra) butter. Place butter into bowl. Pour sugar directly on butter. Add salt and water.
• Cook approximately 7-8 minutes (sometimes I have seen some microwaves take up to 12 minutes). Start watching at this point so as not to overcook. Candy is done when it's the color of a Heath bar or brown sugar.
• Pour mixture over sliced almonds on a buttered cookie sheet. Don't scrape the bowl! Cool!
• Top with melted chocolate (and more almonds if you wish) and let cool some more.
• Break into pieces and serve. (I use a regular table knife -- just be sure not to cut into your cookie sheet!) Enjoy!
