English Toffee

July 13th, 2011

There are few things quite as perfect as toffee. Bonus points when it’s covered in chocolate. And almonds. English toffee has always been one of my favorite treats, but somehow I’d never attempted it at home. Yesterday afternoon I made a batch (from this recipe) and they were just how they should be: crunchy and buttery. And since I’ve gotten a lot questions in the past about making candy, I think the most important thing (besides truly following the directions) is to invest in a great candy thermometer (I have this one).

    I have a major addiction to English toffee–but I associate it with Christmastime. July toffee sure sounds good, though!

    Toffee is my favorite! Although… the whole thermometer thing is a total deterrent for this girl :)

    That looks delicious! If you love English toffee, you absolutely have to try Elaine’s Toffee Company toffee. It is excellent; the best toffee on the market. It’s my favorite and I love that it is family run. They don’t ship when it’s hot but find it in a shop or get it when the weather cools down. I think you will like it. (Plus, it looks super cute and would looks so sweet in your adorable retro kitchen!)
