For the second day, I decided to do some toffees, the kind that makes you never want to stop! Well, this is something to be packed and sent right, guess it will never stand the test of time in being packed. I almost gobbled up most that I could. I must warn you this is sort of melting and not sure if it will be solid when exposed to hot temperatures.
However, these toffees are excellent to pack and send your kids, trust me! I had a big chunk myself. Today has been a day of sorts! Some unexpected things and some unwanted things as well. Then I happened to read some beautiful words from a dear friend, which were soothing. Words such as those are best experienced.
Anyway coming back to the toffees on hand, I used the silicone molds I recently got and I enjoyed making them. The kids were eager for me to use all of them. However, I made only just enough for two and I am sure I am going to be making it again. Also as always, I goofed up with the ingredients. I was supposed to add just the chocolate chips but thought I was being very smart when I added some dark chocolate. Imagine biting into bitter unsweetened dark chocolate, yea I told whoever got the worse bite, that dark chocolate was healthy.
The fact is, you got to bite both the sugar and chocolate together, it's not rocket science still got to be told I guess.
Recipe
Chocolate Toffee | How to make Toffee with Chocolate
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Butter
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips I used a mix of chocolate chips, chunks, dark chocolate and it was surely more than 1/2 cup
Instructions
How to make the toffee
- In a thick bottom pan, melt the sugar and butter together. Melt the chocolate in the microwave mode for 30 secs - 1 min, taking care that you don't burn it.
- Stir it well so that you do proper tempering and it's cooled down.
- Now the sugar and butter are getting cooked, keep stirring, and make sure you get a thick syrup. The ladle you use when you lift it out, the syrup should coat it. It takes about 8 - 10 mins.
- Use a silicone mould for the best results as you can simply remove it easily. Pour the sugar syrup and let it cool down completely. Pour the melted chocolate over the sugar syrup and cool.
- Once it sets, you can chop into smaller pieces.
Notes
- You can use smaller molds as it will be much easier to handle.
- Since I used dark chocolate, it was bitter but with just chocolate chip, it will be really delicious.
