Quick And Easy Microwave Butter Toffee Food

BEST TOFFEE EVER - SUPER EASY

Steps:

• In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.
• While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. Putting a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
• Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.

MICROWAVE CRACKER TOFFEE

Steps:

• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the saltines in a square on the lined cookie sheet and set aside.
• Put the butter, sugar, salt and 1/4 cup water in a large microwave-safe bowl but do not stir.
• Microwave on high until the mixture just begins to turn lightly golden, about 8 minutes. Continue to microwave in additional 30-second or 1-minute increments if needed to achieve the golden color.
• Carefully pour the cooked candy over the saltines on the cookie sheet. Let stand 1 minute. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot toffee and let stand until the chips are shiny, 1 to 2 minutes. Use an offset spatula to spread the melted chips over the toffee. Sprinkle with sea salt, if using. Chill in the fridge until the chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes. Break the candy into bite-sized pieces.

• Cook approximately 7-8 minutes (sometimes I have seen some microwaves take up to 12 minutes). Start watching at this point so as not to overcook. Candy is done when it's the color of a Heath bar or brown sugar.

You need to watch it carefully, and remember: DON'T STIR.
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the chopped cashews into a 9-into circle on a Silpat mat, parchment paper, or on a buttered baking sheet.
• Carefully pour the liquid mixture evenly over the top of the cashews. Immediately sprinkle on the chocolate chips. Allow to sit for 1 minute to melt the chocolate.
• Use spatula to smooth out chocolate over the entire sheet of candy.
