Easy Homemade Toffee Bits Recipes

EASY HOMEMADE TOFFEE BITS

Steps:

• Cut butter into cubes and place in heavy saucepan with sugar. Heat on low to medium low setting, whisking rarely while the sugar and butter melt. As the toffee cooks it will start to look clumpy, whisk or use a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan while it is cooking to prevent any burning. As the color of the toffee starts to darken, stir in the vanilla and the salt. Continue to cook and until the temperature on the candy thermometer reaches 295F to 305F and the toffee is approximately the color of peanut butter. Carefully pour the hot toffee onto a parchment or silicone baking mat lined baking sheet. The toffee will cool and harden within 10 - 20 minutes. Crack it with a spoon or pestle. Store in airtight container for up to one week.

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.
