Toffee Bugles Recipes

CRUNCHY TOFFEE BUCKEYES

Steps:

• Combine the peanut butter, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer, adding about 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar at a time, until all the sugar is incorporated and the mixture is stiff and dry to the touch. Mix the toffee by hand.
• Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls (about 32) and place on plates. Insert a toothpick into the center of each ball and freeze until firm, 1 hour.
• Once the balls are frozen, put the chopped chocolate in a small, heat-safe bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan filled with 1/2 inch of barely simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water) and heat, stirring, until melted. Remove the balls from the freezer and, one at a time, dip them in the chocolate, leaving a small round of peanut butter still visible. Let the excess chocolate drip off before returning the balls to the plate. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Remove the toothpick before serving.

TOFFEE BUGLES

Steps:

• Bring sugar, margarine, and syrup to a boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add baking soda. Stir. Pour over Bugles in a large bowl sprayed with Pam. (This makes clean up so much easier.) Quickly toss and spread on a 10X15 inch pan, sprayed with Pam. Bake at 250Degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Pour onto parchment paper, or wax paper sprayed with Pam. Quickly separate pieces. Let cool, and store in a sealed container.

CHOCOLATE BUGLES

Steps:

• Cut a small hole in the corner of a plastic bag with peanut butter. Pipe the peanut butter into the Bugles. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy coating at 70% power for 1-1/2 minutes; stir. Heat 1 to 1-1/2 minutes longer or until melted; stir until smooth. Dip the filled end of Bugles halfway in coating. Place on waxed paper to dry.

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.
