Made this today, first I burnt the almonds was was able to use some of them, Then I toped it with walnuts, because I didn't have enough almonds, I think it came out OK. its in the refridge can't wait to taste it. I will probably make more, later this week, the caramel smells like you could make caramel popcorn too, from same recipe,,, Thank you for the vidio!!!!!
toffee should not have corn syrup or water in it. real traditional toffee is only made with the sugar & butter. with my own personal recipe i add a dash of vanilla extract... but the corn syrup and water just make for more separation.
Actually Brian the corn syrup keeps the sugar from becoming crystallized/gritty. The molecules of the syrup are composed differently than sugar, there is sceince to it. I make both toffee and caramel sauce, using the syrup in both. The water gives some aid in the time it takes to get to the hard ball stage. Cooking low and slow is best. The person who said it comes out soft did not cook long enough, they cooked to soft ball stage. Good luck in making!
Hi Brian, Saw your pic on profile but didn't recognize your YT name, found you through Jill/Sunbeam. I just made a batch of this tonight for friends except did it with peanuts this time. I make a ton of this at Christmas and give in my goody bags. Just remember to cook just a little more than low and use a heavy bottom pan, non stick helps but I know you eat healthy and probably don't use. :o) PS, maragarine will not work.
Made it, and I'm happy with the results. The only tricky part is to judge how much heat is enough. Burned the first batch. Even had a candy thermometer, and it burned anyway. Hmm.. must have been a bad thermometer. Second batch, stopped at "buggers"-it worked.
I liked the simplicity and convenience of this recipe. Thank-you!
@ouradoptionoption In case you are interested, I added double the Corn Syrup and it turned out chewy instead of crunchy. So Corn syrup holds things together and makes them chewy. if you want a nice crunchy toffee, don't put in any more corn syrup than the recipe amount. Cheers, Brian.
Candace, I tried out the recipe and took it to work to share. Not only was it EASY TO MAKE, it was absolutely delicious! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe and for taking the time to make this video! Your instructions were so easy to follow. You are in my top 5 youtuber's list! ;-) Thank you, again, and MERRY CHRISTMAS! :-)
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I made it yesterday and OMG - it was so good! Definitely a new favourite. I always make different kinds of sweets for christmas and this was my first one this year. More to come...
@TheBabybutterflies I know the nuts can but as far as anything else I am not sure. I know you can't try to cool it down faster by putting it in the freezer because it makes the chocolate and toffee separate.
@ouradoptionoption I made it tonight and have it on the counter to cool. I will try it in the freezer and let ya know. :) Thanks for the awesome recipe!! I can't wait till morning to try it.
Mmmm, thanks for sharing! I'm making it right now! :) Almonds are just cooling for a bit now. This will be a great addition to my homemade baking gift baskets I'll be giving out to family for Christmas. Thanks again!
That's looks so tasty! Could you use any nut? And use white chocolate to mix things up?

Thanks for listing the ingredients. However the word buggers is a turn off , makes you not want to make it. That's my opinion (smile)

WHY Corn Syrup??
YoBootyStinks 5 months ago
Any idea what the corn syrup and water do? There isn't much of either, so I wonder if we really need them too? Thanks, Brian.

Has to be butter? We use non-dairy "butter" that in baking is used for equal. Why couldn't it be used?

@36hesperia36 Yes, as far as I know it does have to be butter. Im not really sure why though. Sorry : (
