Toffee recipes

Toffee is a confection made from sugar and butter with a pleasingly creamy, melting texture. Toffee can be hard or soft, depending how it’s prepared. Additional flavourings or ingredients, such as nuts, chocolate, cream and even whisky are all common. Toffee is sold either in small bars, as wrapped sweets, or loose in boxes, broken up into bite-sized pieces. Bonfire toffee, made with black treacle, has a more intense flavour than regular toffee and is popular during Guy Fawkes celebrations. British toffee is made differently to American taffy – with the latter, the sugar mixture is pulled.
