I’ve by no means used a thermometer for making toffee. (Admittedly, at this level, I don’t want the paper bag any longer. I simply eyeball it.) This takes between 18-20 minutes and I ALWAYS set a timer for 17 minutes.

Simply in case I discover myself distracted, the timer prevents me from letting the sweet burn. It’ll go from completely amber coloured to burnt in about 30 seconds, as quickly because it turns gentle brown, pull it off the warmth.

Salted Toffee

The ending salt is actually necessary on this recipe. There aren’t a number of fancy spices and components in my kitchen, however Maldon flaked sea salt is a key ingredient on this toffee.

You should purchase it in some grocery shops, however I discovered the perfect costs by far on Amazon. (I promise that in case you purchase it, you’ll use it for extra than simply this recipe!)

Nonetheless, in case you don’t wish to purchase a elaborate salt, coarse sea salt and even kosher salt will work.

As soon as the toffee is caramel coloured, take away from the warmth and add the vanilla. Stir to mix. Rapidly pour the toffee over the pecans.

Sprinkle with Maldon salt. Let cool utterly. I usually set the pan within the fridge to hurry up the method, however it’ll additionally cool at room temperature.

When the toffee is cool, break into items. (I discover that flipping the toffee over and hitting it a number of occasions with a picket spoon works fairly properly.)

Retailer in an hermetic container within the fridge or at room temperature.
