Butter Toffee Recipe, Almond Toffee Recipe & Microwave Toffee Recipe



A butter toffee recipe gets its delicious flavor by caramelizing sugar or molasses with butter (not margarine). These are some of the best candy recipes. Always use a heavy saucepan because of the high content of fat in a butter toffee recipe it can scorch easily. After adding the other ingredients, the mixture is boiled to desired temperatures. Various ingredients and cooking to different levels of temperature determine the hardness of the candy; from a chewy pulled candy like taffy to a hard brittle texture. It is important to use a candy thermometer when making this candy; a few degrees will change the texture.
