Toffee Bits Recipes

HOMEMADE TOFFEE BITS

Steps:

• Line a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• In a heavy bottomed small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and salt and whisk vigorously for one minute until combined. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture looks like melted peanut butter and a candy thermometer reaches 295 to 305°F, about 10 minutes.
• If the mixture separates at all, remove from heat and whisk vigorously until recombined. Return to heat and continue cooking.
• Immediately and carefully pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking pan, allowing it to spread into an even layer. Let cool and harden for about 20 minutes.
• Place the sheet of toffee on a cutting board or in a zip top bag. Use a mallet, rolling pin, or heavy object to crack it into small pieces. You can also cut into bits with a sharp serrated knife. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

CHEWY SKOR TOFFEE BITS COOKIES

• Stir in toffee bits.
• Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet (I used ungreased parchment paper).

• Cool slightly, remove from the cookie sheet to a wire rack.
• Cool completely.

CHOCOLATE TOFFEE BITES

Steps:

• Place the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and caramelize on high heat stirring constantly. It will turn amber brown in about 5 minutes. When it is a uniform caramel color, add the butter, and stir it in. Once mostly combined, add the chocolate, and stir to blend. Pour it out onto a silpat or parchment lined sheet pan, and spread it with an offset spatula 1/8-inch thick. Let cool and break into small pieces. Store in an airtight container.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil, with a bit of an overhang on two sides. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and salt. With mixer on low speed, add flour, and beat until combined. Stir in toffee bits by hand.
