Vegan and Nut Free Buttercrunch Toffee.
Sweet, salty, delicious vegan and nut free buttercrunch toffee is a holiday treat that you'll want to make again and again!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Earth Balance soy free vegan buttery spread
- 1 cup organic cane sugar
- 3 Tablespoons water*
- 1 Tablespoon organic corn syrup
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces dairy free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a 13x9 inch cookie sheet with foil.
- In a heavy bottomed saucepan, melt the vegan buttery spread, sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt.
- Cook over medium high heat, stirring constantly.
- Once the mixture comes to a boil, clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, and boil, stirring constantly until the mixture reaches 290 degrees F. (When the mixture gets to 280 degrees, watch it very carefully so it doesn't burn).
- Take the saucepan off the heat, and remove the thermometer, then pour the toffee mixture into the foil lined cookie sheet.
- Wait for 2-3 minutes until the toffee sets, then sprinkle the dairy free chocolate chips over the toffee. Once the chocolate chips are melted, use a spatula to spread the chocolate over the toffee.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator until the toffee is cool and firm.
- Use the foil to lift the toffee from the pan, and break into pieces. I broke it into three big pieces, then put those into a ziploc bag and whacked it on the table to get lots of smaller pieces.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or at room temperature. This toffee will last for about 10 days.
Notes
If you don't want to use corn syrup, you can leave it and the water out of this recipe. The toffee will reach the temperature more quickly, and there is a greater risk of burning the toffee. Be careful, stir constantly, and watch the temperature.
Once you pour the toffee onto the cookie sheet, you will need to wait just a couple minutes for it to set. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on after about 2 minutes - the toffee should be still be hot enough to melt the chocolate.
Feel free to sprinkle large flake sea salt on top of the chocolate while it is melty for even more salty/sweet goodness.
Store toffee in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
