Toffee Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (227g)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking once the toffee is cooked and poured out.
  2. Cook the toffee: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in the granulated sugar and pumpkin spice blend until fully combined. Continue to cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches the hard crack stage of about 300°F (149°C) on a candy thermometer. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Be careful to avoid burning.
  3. Cool the toffee: Immediately pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly. Allow it to cool at room temperature until it hardens completely, which should take about 30-45 minutes.
  4. Break into pieces: Once the toffee is firm, break it into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a knife. Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • Be cautious when working with hot sugar; it reaches temperatures that can cause serious burns.
  • Use a candy thermometer for accurate temperature measurement to ensure perfect texture.
  • Variations can include adding chopped nuts or dipping the toffee pieces in chocolate once cooled for extra flavor.
  • This toffee is best enjoyed within two weeks when stored properly.
