Chocolate Caramel Toffee Crunch Cake image

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 package German Chocolate cake mix
Ingredients called for on cake mix (eggs, oil, water, etc)
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
1 jar caramel ice cream topping
1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip)
4-6 Heath candy bars, crushed (I have also seen Heath bits over on the baking aisle by the chocolate chips- those would work perfectly too)

Steps:

  • Prepare and bake cake in a 9x13" baking pan as directed on back of cake mix. Let cake cool. Using a fork, poke holes all over the top of the cake. Mix together the sweetened condensed milk and caramel topping and pour all over the cake, letting it sink down into the holes. Spread whipped topping over the caramel layer and sprinkle with crushed Heath bars.
  • I keep this cake in the fridge- it's delicious cold!

11/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup hot water
2 1/4 cups sugar
9 ounces unsalted butter, softened
4 large eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Caramel Cream Center, recipe follows
Ganache, recipe follows
Prepared blue rock sugar, for garnish
6 ounces egg whites, from about 5 whole eggs
1/3 cup sugar
12 ounces to 1 pound unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 batch Agave Caramel Sauce, recipe follows
1/2 cup water
1 ounce sugar (2 tablespoons)
1 1/2 teaspoons light agave nectar
5 ounces cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups heavy cream
24 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips (recommended: Ghirardelli 60% cocoa bittersweet chocolate chips)
Ice bath, in shallow bowl

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 30 regular-size cupcake or muffin cups with paper cupcake liners or line 6 dozen (72) mini cupcake or mini muffin cups with mini cupcake liners.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Sift the cocoa powder in a separate bowl. Whisk the hot water into the cocoa until smooth. In bowl of electric mixer, cream the sugar and butter well. Add the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla and mix until smooth. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and add the cocoa mixture. Beat just until smooth. Fill the cupcake liners 3/4-full and bake the regular-size cupcakes for 20 minutes, or until cooked through or bake the mini cupcakes for 19 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the cupcakes from the pan and let cool completely. Fill with Caramel Cream Center and top with Ganache Frosting and the prepared blue rock sugar.
  • Warm the egg whites and sugar over a double boiler, stirring the egg mixture until the sugar dissolves and the mixture feels warm to the touch. Remove from the heat and whip until medium-stiff peaks form. With the mixer running, gradually add the softened butter and vanilla until thick and smooth. Fold in the Agave Caramel Sauce until fully incorporated. Place the Caramel Cream Center in a pastry bag fitted with pastry tip and fill the cooled cupcakes.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the water over high heat until hot but not boiling. Add the sugar and the agave and stir gently to dissolve. Bring the mixture to a boil, and heat to 330 degrees F, or to a warm brown color. Add the cream slowly, whisking constantly, the caramel will bubble and rise. Add the butter and continue whisking over the heat until the caramel is smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Chill the mixture to thicken.
  • In a saucepan, heat the cream to scald. Add the chocolate chips. Stir the mixture until smooth. Chill on the ice bath until a spreadable consistency, stirring frequently. Frost the filled cupcakes with the ganache and garnish with the prepared rock sugar.

CHOCOLATE-CARAMEL MATZO TOFFEE



Chocolate-Caramel Matzo Toffee image

Matzo toffee is the Passover-friendly take on saltine toffee. A layered confection of matzo crackers, brown sugar caramel and melted chocolate, you can top it with practically anything you like, from the most elegantly minimal sprinkle of sea salt to a surfeit of nuts, dried fruit, potato chips, or a combination. Matzo toffee keeps well when stored airtight at room temperature - up to one week, if you haven't finished it by then.

Time 50m

Yield About 2 dozen pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 to 6 sheets matzo, preferably salted
1 cup/225 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1 1/2 packed cups/315 grams light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Large pinch of fine sea salt
7 ounces chopped bittersweet, milk or white chocolate, or a combination (about 1 cup)
Toppings, as desired (see note)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, allowing it to go up and over the edges of the pan. Line the bottom of the pan with a piece of parchment. Arrange matzo over parchment in an even layer, breaking pieces to fit as necessary.
  • In a medium pot over medium-high heat, bring butter and sugar to a boil, whisking, until thickened and smooth, about 3 minutes. The mixture may separate, and that is O.K. Stir in vanilla and salt. Quickly pour mixture over matzos. Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake until bubbly, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Sprinkle chocolate evenly over caramel and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Use an offset spatula to spread chocolate smoothly over surface of toffee. If you've used different kinds of chocolate, you can swirl them together decoratively.
  • Immediately sprinkle melted chocolate with desired topping. Transfer baking sheet to refrigerator and chill toffee 1 hour to set chocolate. Break matzo toffee into large pieces for storing and serving.
