Toffee Style Brittle Recipes

BUTTER TOFFEE BRITTLE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Boil the butter, sugar, and corn syrup until it reaches 300°F on a candy thermometer. Carefully stir in most of the crush cashews. Save a small amount to sprinkle on top of the chocolate. Pour into a sheet pan lined with aluminum foil and greased with butter. Place another piece of aluminum foil greased with butter on top. 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. Melt the chocolate and frost the brittle with the melted chocolate and sprinkle the chocolate with the crushed cashews. Break into pieces when the brittle is cool and firm.

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.
