ENGLISH TOFFEE

Steps:

• Butter a 12-by-18-inch baking pan. Cover two large cutting boards or cardboard pieces with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Remove from heat, and stir in sugar, corn syrup, and 3 tablespoons water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, stir in 1 cup almonds, and pour out into prepared pan, spreading the mixture with the back of a spoon to fill the pan.
• Before candy hardens, but when it is firm enough to handle, turn it out onto parchment-lined board. Allow to cool completely.
• Wipe the surface of candy with a damp paper towel to remove excess butter, and allow to dry.
• Using a small offset spatula, quickly spread half the chocolate over candy. Scatter 1/2 cup of the remaining almonds over chocolate. Cover with parchment paper, and place second cutting board on paper. Turn candy over onto second surface. Remove top board and paper, quickly spread candy with remaining chocolate, and scatter with the remaining 1/2 cup almonds. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set chocolate.
• Break candy into 2-inch pieces. The candy may be stored in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 1 week; use parchment paper to separate layers.

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly butter 2 heavy large baking sheets. Combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Stir in chocolate chips, nuts and toffee bits. Beat cream in another large bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into dry ingredients. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead gently until soft dough forms. about 2 minutes. Form dough into ball; pat out to form 1 1/4-inch-thick round. Cut dough into 12 wedges.
• Transfer wedges to prepared baking sheets, spacing apart. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with additional sugar. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

TOFFEE SCONES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, mix together the whipping cream, vanilla and the egg and stir it up until it is well mixed. Set aside. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter, forks or with your fingers, which is how I prefer. You dont want your butter pieces to be any smaller than a small pea. Now stir in the toffee bits. Make a well in the middle of the dry mixture and pour the liquids into the middle. With a fork, gently toss the dry mixture into the liquid, continuing around the bowl until all the liquid is mixed in. You might need to do this twice. When the liquid is absorbed and it comes together like a nice dough, gather it together with your hands and place on a surface sprinkled with flour. Don't knead it! Shape the dough into a square or a circle. I prefer square. Cut the scones into the size you like best. I got 12 small squares. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. At this point, I added a few more toffee bits on top. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size you cut them. Try to let them cool before you try a bite! If it suits your fancy, you can drizzle them with a little melted chocolate. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and 2-3 tablespoons of butter. Mix together and drizzle away. Yum!
