Coffee Toffee Recipe

Name: Coffee Toffee
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 sticks Butter; 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar; 1/2 cups Brown Sugar; 1-1/2 teaspoon Molasses; 1/4 teaspoons Salt; 1-1/2 teaspoon Instant Espresso Powder; 1 teaspoon Vanilla; 1 cup Chocolate Chips; 1 Tablespoon Crisco; 3/4 cups Finely Chopped Nuts

1
Place silicone mat, parchment paper, or buttered foil on a cookie sheet.
2
In a medium saucepan with a candy thermometer attached (or I use a chef's thermometer), melt butter, sugars, molasses, salt and espresso powder together over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the temperature reaches 250 degrees, at which point you should begin to stir constantly until it reaches 298 t0 300 F. Add a splash of vanilla and immediately pour into the prepared baking sheet. Spread thinly with a spatula. You can sprinkle chocolate chips over the toffee and let them soften, but I prefer to let the toffee cool and melt chocolate chips with Crisco in the microwave in 30-second spurts, stirring between intervals until completely melted. Then I pour the chocolate over the toffee, spreading evenly.
3
Sprinkle finely chopped nuts over the top, patting down so that nuts will adhere.
4
Break into irregular pieces and store in an airtight container.
5
Tip: Like many candies, toffee is best made on a non-rainy day.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
