Time 1h20m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups butter
2 cups white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup finely chopped almonds

Steps:

  • In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.
  • While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  • As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. Putting a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
  • Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.

BROWN BUTTER TOFFEE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



Brown Butter Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

The ultimate chocolate chip cookie indulgence, bolstered by chunks of homemade toffee, brown butter, and large pockets of chocolate.

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Desserts

Yield 9 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
¾ cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
water, as needed
1 cup unsalted butter
4 ice cubes
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ cups dark brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons espresso powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ½ cups all purpose flour
6 oz cacao chocolate, 50-70% cacao, chopped
flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Make the toffee: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium nonstick saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, brown sugar, and salt, stirring until evenly incorporated. If there are grainy lumps or if the fat starts to separate, add a couple splashes of water and stir vigorously to emulsify. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 290°F (143°C), about 10-15 minutes.
  • Pour the toffee onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out slightly with a spatula. Freeze until ready to use, about 30 minutes.
  • Make the cookie dough: Add the butter to a medium nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns dark brown and smells nutty. Watch carefully so the butter does not burn. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Add an ice cube to the butter and slowly let it melt. It may froth and bubble. Add the remaining 3 ice cubes and gently stir until melted.
  • In a large bowl, combine the granulated and brown sugar, espresso powder, salt, and baking soda.
  • Pour the brown butter into the sugar mixture and mix until combined. Don't worry if it looks separated.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla. Pour into the sugar and butter mixture and whisk until glossy and smooth.
  • Add the flour and fold with a rubber spatula to incorporate until the dough has no visible flour streaks.
  • Remove the toffee from the freezer (it should be a frozen disc) and break it into chunks that will fit inside a gallon zip-top bag. Double bag the toffee and seal both bags. With a rolling pin, break the toffee into small pieces.
  • Fold the crushed toffee and chopped chocolate into the dough until evenly distributed.
  • Using a large ice cream scoop or a ½ cup (65 g) measure, scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Wrap the baking sheet in plastic wrap, but leave a small opening at the corner of the tray. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 36 hours. This will allow the flavor to develop and the dough to dry out a little as it rests, which will result in less spread when it bakes.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line 2 baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the cookies on the baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between the cookies and away from the edges of the pan.
  • Bake until the cookies are golden brown with crispy edges, but are still slightly soft in the center, 18-20 minutes.
  • Immediately sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt. then let cool completely. The cookies will be very soft at first but will set after they are fully cooled.
  • Enjoy!

HONEYCOMB TOFFEE



Honeycomb Toffee image

This very fun and simple-to-make candy goes by many names; cinder toffee, sponge candy, and my personal favorite, 'hokey pokey,' but no matter what you call it, this eye-catching confection is a proven crowd pleaser. Thousands of bubbles, trapped in the cooling sugar syrup, give this the most interesting melt-in-your-mouth texture. As long as you're very careful and heat the syrup up to the correct temp, there's not a lot that can go wrong.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Line a baking dish with parchment paper, measure out baking soda in a small bowl, and have a heat-proof spatula ready before starting.
  • Whisk sugar, corn syrup, honey, and water together in a saucepan with a candy thermometer attached. Heat over medium heat until mixture is thinner but still cloudy. Let bubble until mixture is clear and thermometer registers 300 degrees F (149 degrees C).
  • Remove from heat. Whisk in baking soda until just incorporated. Switch to a spatula and very carefully pour into the lined dish. Do not spread it out with your spatula or compress mixture at all, or the bubbles will deflate. Let cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove candy from the pan by lifting out the parchment paper. Rap against the counter and use your fingers to break it into individual pieces.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED ALMOND TOFFEE BARS



Chocolate-covered Almond Toffee Bars image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 3h25m

Yield 1 (2-pound) block, 10 by 13 inches

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 ounces whole unblanched almonds
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup water or rum
8 ounces (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Spread nuts on a baking tray and bake until toasted, 10 to 15 minutes, turning nuts after 7 to 8 minutes to ensure even toasting. Cool and chop coarsely. You should have about 2 cups. Set aside. Clean baking tray and coat with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Spray both sides of the offset spatula with vegetable oil spray. Set aside.
  • Make the toffee: Place sugar in a small deep saucepan. Add the corn syrup and water or rum and, over medium heat, bring to a boil. Let boil until large bubbles form on the surface, 3 to 4 minutes. Cover with foil and boil 5 minutes longer.
  • Add the pieces of butter and continue cooking, uncovered, over medium heat until temperature reaches 300 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 30 minutes. (The candy thermometer has a clip on the side that can be slid up or down. If desired, you can fit the thermometer on the side of the pan, making sure that it rests in the mixture, not on the bottom of the pan, so that the reading is accurate.) Remove from heat and immediately add the salt, baking soda, and 1 cup of chopped nuts. Stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
  • Pour the toffee mixture on the oiled baking tray and, using the offset spatula, spread the mixture out, making a block about 10 by 13 inches. The toffee will thicken very quickly, so work as fast as you can. When cool, blot some of the oil or vegetable spray with a clean towel.
  • While the toffee mixture is cooling, melt the chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl placed over simmering water. When almost melted, turn off heat and let the chocolate continue to melt, stirring occasionally. Keep warm.
  • When you can lift up the block of toffee, transfer it to a flat work surface or to a clean baking tray. Pour the melted chocolate over the toffee, spreading to cover the entire surface and, before the chocolate cools, sprinkle with the remaining chopped nuts. If the chocolate takes a long time to harden, refrigerate for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
  • Return the block of toffee to the work surface and break up into pieces approximately 1 to 1 1/2 inches wide. Then cut into smaller pieces, as desired. Use as needed.

  • In a large mixer bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until well blended.
  • Add eggs and blend thoroughly.
  • Gradually add flour mixture, beating well.
  • Stir in toffee bits.
  • Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet (I used ungreased parchment paper).
  • Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Cool slightly, remove from the cookie sheet to a wire rack.
  • Cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the toffee from burning.
  • Start by melting the butter and sugar together over low heat: This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3-5 minutes: Stir constantly to prevent the toffee from burning.
  • Add the cream and salt, and stir until the mixture is smooth: Be careful not to boil the mixture after adding the cream, as this will cause the toffee to curdle.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract: The vanilla extract will help to enhance the flavor of the toffee.
  • Pour the toffee into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan and let it cool for at least 30 minutes: The toffee will firm up as it cools.
  • Cut the toffee into squares and serve: You can also top the toffee with nuts, chocolate chips, or sprinkles.
