Easy Homemade Toffee to Add to Your Favorite Recipes
Homemade toffee is so much easier than you think, and this recipe works great in cookies, bars, and brownies, as well as a topper for hot cocoa or cheesecake.
Ingredients
- 4 TBS unsalted butter *(see note)
- ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt *(see note)
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Then secure the thermometer to the saucepan.
- Add all ingredients to the saucepan and heat the mixture over medium-high heat.
- Start to whisk as the butter melts and continue to whisk as the mixture heats up.
- Turn off the heat at 275℉ and continue to stir until the toffee is the preferred color.
- Pour toffee mixture into the center of the baking sheet and spread out to your desired thickness using the silicone spatula or offset spatula.
- Let toffee cool.
- Break up toffee with your hands (for much larger pieces) or in a zip-top bag using a kitchen mallet (for smaller pieces).
Notes
* Salted butter can be substituted for unsalted. If using salted butter, reduce added salt from 3/4 teaspoon to 1/4 teaspoon.
