Authentic tasting bonfire toffee. Rich and deep molasses taste from both the sugar and the black treacle. The perfect treat for enjoying around the bonfire.

Yield 500g bonfire toffee

Number Of Ingredients 6

450g (2 cups) dark brown sugar 125ml (½ cup) boiling water ¼ tsp cream of tartar 115g (approx. 5.5 tbsp) black treacle (molasses) 115g (approx. 5.5 tbsp) golden syrup (light corn syrup), see notes
450g (2 cups) dark brown sugar
125ml (½ cup) boiling water
¼ tsp cream of tartar
115g (approx. 5.5 tbsp) black treacle (molasses)
115g (approx. 5.5 tbsp) golden syrup (light corn syrup), see notes

Steps:

  • Line the base and sides of an A4 sized tin with non-stick parchment paper, and thoroughly grease it with non-stick cooking spray. Put the sugar and boiling water in a heavy bottomed large pan and heat gently until the sugar is dissolved, do not stir the mixture at any point instead tilt the pan if you need to move it around. Weigh out your remaining ingredients, if you put them in a really well-greased jug they will be much easier to pour out. Once the sugar has dissolved add all the ingredients and pop the sugar thermometer in, you can use the thermometer to give it a quick swirl but try not to mix it too much. Bring to the boil and boil until you reach soft crack on your thermometer (270°F/140°C) This may take up to 30 minutes, be patient and do not leave the pan unattended as it can change quickly. As soon as it reaches the temp, tip it into your tin and leave it to cool. Once cool remove it from the tin a break up with a toffee hammer or rolling pin. Store in an airtight tin or wrap up in boxes or cellophane bags to give as a gift.

Categories     Candy     Desserts

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb sugar (preferably demerara)
4 1/3 floz water
2 1/2 oz butter
3 1/2 oz golden syrup (substitute light corn syrup)
3 1/2 oz black treacle
1 tablespoon white vinegar

Steps:

  • Put all the ingredients into a strong saucepan and stir over a steady heat until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Bring to the boil and cook until the mixture reaches the 'hard crack' stage, 290 degrees F. Test the mixture; drop a teaspoon amount into a glass of moderately cold water--if it is done you will get a blob of toffee that is slightly stretchy but breaks with pressure (ie. not brittle). Too bendy or stretchy means it needs a little bit longer, so test again after a short time.
  • Pour into an oiled or buttered tin and either allow to set as a slab or mark in squared as toffee becomes partially set. Break when completely set.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-based saucepan to prevent the toffee from burning.
  • Stir the toffee constantly to prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a sugar thermometer to ensure that the toffee reaches the correct temperature.
  • Add the butter and cream gradually to prevent the toffee from curdling.
  • Pour the toffee onto a greased baking sheet and leave it to cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
  • Store the toffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
