I'm still looking for an easy, tasty toffee or nut roca. My last post is tasty, but I thought I'd try a recipe I found at
Tasty Kitchen to compare. The toffee was easy to make!
Toffee floating near the 12 Apostles, Port Campbell Nat'l Park, Australia
The color of the cooked toffee mix is good on missamy's pictures so that's what I went by. However, I didn't let mine get quite as dark, but almost. Mine did NOT smoke, but I did close the bedroom doors with the smoke detectors just in case! I also used medium high heat, not high heat. I only made 1/4 of the original recipe (but almost a 1/2 cup of chocolate chips) and put it in a 8 x 8 baking pan. I also used pecans and almonds for the topping. I like how the sliced almonds "slice" through the toffee.
I think the flavor is close to my earlier post, but these won't crack your crowns! I sprayed the pan with cooking spray, but next time I would use parchment paper to line it - a tip from Anna at Cookiemadness. I want to try this using my brown sugar recipe, but follow the technique for the Tasty Kitchen recipe.
Let me know what you think if you try these! Linked up to:

I so love Toffee. Especially in an ice cream bar. Although I do make soups and pizza. Deserts are an area of ignorance (my part) or indifferecen (her part) around here. Actually with retirement we just plain eat out to much. That grows old after while.
ReplyDeletebtw I did a post on Corkscrew recently. This year was only our second trip to Florida. A year ago we went to spring training to watch the Twins. This year to visit my wife cousin in Sebastian. I like Florida more and more, especially all the refuges and the warm weather doesn't hurt either. :)
