Toffee Nuts Food

TOFFEE-NUT SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, combine cereal, pretzels, almonds, peanuts, and toffee.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in thyme. (Butter will splatter.) Stir in brown sugar, mustard, and salt. Add to cereal mixture and toss until evenly coated. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Bake, stirring halfway through, until nuts are toasted and toffee begins to melt, about 15 minutes. Let cool and discard thyme.

HOMETOWN TOFFEE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Tip the almonds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds onto a baking sheet. Toast until they begin to color, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool.
• Melt the chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water (or in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes) and stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside.
• Spray a 9-by-12-inch baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Add the granulated sugar, butter, brown sugar, kosher salt and 2 tablespoons of water to a heavy-bottomed saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Cook over medium-high heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the thermometer registers 300 degrees F, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Sprinkle in the baking soda and mix. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and tip the baking sheet to spread the toffee evenly. Let it cool and set, about 6 minutes.
• Drizzle the melted chocolate over the toffee. Scatter the toasted nuts and seeds, raisins and mini chocolate candy over the melted chocolate and sprinkle with the sea salt. Let set for 2 hours, then break the toffee into shards.

BROWN SUGAR TOFFEE WITH NUTS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Prepare a baking sheet or 9-inch by 13-inch pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
• Coarsely chop the toasted nuts, then scatter them in an even layer all over the foil-covered pan.
• In a medium saucepan on medium heat, combine the brown sugar, water, cubed butter, corn syrup, and salt.
• Stir until the sugar and butter dissolve, then wipe down the sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming. Insert your candy thermometer.
• Cook the candy, without stirring, until the thermometer reads 285 F/140 C. Once it hits the desired temperature, immediately remove the pan from the heat.
• Add the vanilla extract and the baking soda. Stir until the baking soda causes the toffee to foam up and become a lighter, opaque color.
• Pour the toffee in an even layer over the nuts on the prepared pan. Try not to spread it too much with a spatula. The more you work it, the more you will eliminate the air bubbles that give it a light and crispy texture.
• Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature, for at least 1 hour.
• Once cool and set, break the toffee into small pieces by hand.

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.
