Product Information

If you are making the lollipops ensure you use silicon molds that can tolerate the high temperature of the cooked toffee. Do not use metal molds – remember, toffee can weld itself to metal. And no amount of teasing or bashing will shift these lollipops out.

Immediately pour over the pecans and use a spatula to spread to the edges. Set aside for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly. I love this toffee recipe when topped with a sprinkle of big flaked sea salt. You can find Maldon’s sea salt flakes at most grocery stores or look for a brand that says fleur de sel.

Some recipes suggest adding cream of tartar or white wine vinegar. This is to help prevent the formation of sugar crystals. Don’t worry, you won’t be able to taste these ingredients and you can use either in my recipe. But watch the quantities – my recipe calls for 1 tbsp of vinegar or ¼ tsp cream of tartar – quite a difference Place a sugar thermometer or digital cooking thermometer in the pan, then turn up the heat and boil everything together vigorously, without stirring, until the temperature reaches 140C. Remove from the heat and leave for a moment to let any bubbles settle, then carefully pour the molten toffee into the prepared tin, swirling the tin until the toffee fully covers the base. Leave for at least 2 hrs to set, or overnight if possible.All you need is a few simple ingredients and a candy thermometer to make it super easy. The best thing about this treat is that you can make a large batch and give it to family and friends as gifts during Christmas or any December holiday party. This toffee recipe is reminiscent of the classic HEATH toffee bar or Almond Roca some of us grew up loving. It’s crunchy, chewy, sweet, full of chocolatey caramel flavor and 100% addicting. Beginner or not, anyone can make delicious homemade toffee! Sweets UK - Foam Style! Clinging to the ‘health train’ and the food-shaped theme, perhaps you remember Foam Bananas. If not, it might sound like a funny name, but these 1980s sweets couldn’t really be called anything more suitable. They’re soft and juicy chews with a mild banana flavour, perfect for people who want a bit of a change from plain chocolate, or the ultra-sweet hit of a boiled sweet. These might not look quite as real as the Sweet Peanuts, but the bright yellow with a gentle green tinge is convincing enough for everyone to enjoy them!

The toffee is going to reach a very high temperature. Do not make this recipe with small children. Do not be tempted to taste the toffee as it cooks. Resist the temptation to multi-task. Keep your eye on the pan to avoid it bubbling over and to ensure you do not overcook the ingredients & end up with bitter, burnt toffee Sprinkle chocolate chips over the surface then cover with foil for about 4 minutes and then use a spatula to smooth into a thin even layer.The chocolate is optional. You can leave it out or use 1/2 a cup instead for a paper thin layer. Milk, semisweet, or bittersweet are all fine, it’s really up to your personal preference.

We offer Wholesale lollipops to please every type of lollipop lover, whether you are a kid or a grown up satisfying your inner child’s sweet tooth. If you love gifting old-fashioned holiday sweets, my Homemade Peanut Brittle recipe, Easy Peppermint Bark Recipe, and Homemade Chocolate Truffles Recipe are some of my favorites to give away. What You’ll Need for This RecipeCan you freeze toffee? Yes! Freeze it in an airtight container, with layers separated by waxed paper, up to 3 months (or longer—we always ate it by then!) English toffee uses brown sugar and often will not have nuts while American toffee almost always has pecans or almonds and uses white granulated sugar to make it. How do you store it? Toasting nuts is always a nice way to bring out more depth of flavor in your toffee. Spread the chopped pecans on a baking sheet and bake at 350F for about 4 minutes or until fragrant.

Tip the sugar, cream and butter into a large, heavy-based, deep saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally until all the ingredients have come together and the sugar and butter have melted.

If you are making lollipops, then you will most likely have far too much toffee to fill your molds. Prepare a couple of tins of different sizes to pour the excess toffee into. As a guide: I made 8 lollipops, each measuring approx 1.5 inches using ¼ of the recipe listed here Once the mixture comes to a simmer, stop stirring, put a lid on the pan, and let it simmer for 2 minutes to dissolve any stray crystals. Some recipes suggest adding cream of tartar or white wine vinegar. This is to help prevent the formation of sugar crystals. You can use either. But watch the quantities – my recipe calls for 1 tbsp of vinegar or ¼ tsp cream of tartar – quite a difference Chocolate Chips : I use milk chocolate but feel free to use semi sweet chocolate, dark chocolate, or bittersweet chocolate if you want your toffee less sweet. While sweet, toffee has a deep caramel flavor that goes well with chocolate. The ample amount of butter added to the sugar gives it a delicate melt in your mouth consistency that makes it easier to eat than brittle. What is the difference between toffee and English toffee?
