Totally Simple Toffee Treats
Create Crunchy Chocolate Magic in Minutes!
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups real butter
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons corn syrup (light-colored)
1 cup (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
Grease a large jelly-roll pan with butter. (Do not use vegetable spray, margarine or shortening for this recipe.)
In large saucepan, over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, water and corn syrup. Stir constantly until all ingredients are melted and well blended.
Reduce heat. Continue cooking and stirring. Use a candy thermometer to test the candy mixture. When the temperature reaches 300 (F), it is done. Confirm this by dropping a spoonful into a cupful of very cold water. If the candy becomes brittle immediately, it is done.
Pour candy mixture into prepared jelly-roll pan. Spread it out to the edges, smoothing the mixture to make it level in the pan.
Be extremely careful, as the hot candy mixture can produce a nasty skin burn!
Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the candy mixture. As the chocolate melts, you can spread it out. Add chopped nuts, if desired. Or, as a delicious alternative, top with graham cracker crumbs.
Cool for at least four hours in the refrigerator. (In winter climates, a cold garage works well too.)
Break hardened candy into serving-sized pieces. Store in a tightly sealed container, away from heat.
