How do I make toffee? Clear?!
Answers: The Toffee that is Clear and kinda yellow? My nan used to make it But I have forgotten lol...
4 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 tablespoon vinegar
Boil the sugar, vinegar, water in a heavy based saucepan. Test by dropping a blob of it into some cold water. When the test blobs are hard remove the pan from the heat. Then carefully pour the mixture into patty cake papers.
Rinse the pan and utensils immediately. Don't put your fingers or your mouth near the toffee until it is cold.
Toffee Butter Crunch
1c (2 sticks) real butter
1 c. finely chopped pecans
1 Tbs. white Karo
1 1/2 c sugar
3 Tbl water
1 8oz. choc. Hersey Bar ( or milk choc. bark works really well , also milk choc. chips mixed w/ semi sweet choc chips, sprinkled on top of hot candy works too!)
Finely grated pecans for top
-Melt butter and add sugar, Karo, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occassionally until mixture reaches 300 degrees (hard crack) on the candy thermometer.
-Ouickly stir in 1 c. finely chopped nuts and spread on a well-greased cookie sheet. Wait 10 min. or so and spread thinly with 1/2 of the chocolate (which has been melted in a dbl. boiler or microwave). Then sprinkle with finely ground nuts over the chocolate. ( I use either pecan meal or you can use a grater)
-Spread waxed paper on top of candy and flip with a spatula and repeat w/ choc. and ground nuts on the other side. Slide cookie sheet back under, and place in refrigerator or freezer. Let get cold.
-Take out a break in to small pieces. Keep in a candy can in the frig till ready to serve.
