Toffee Treasure Recipes

BEST TOFFEE EVER - SUPER EASY

Steps:

• In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.
• While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. Putting a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
• Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.

TREASURE TOFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Combine cinnamon and ¼ cup of sugar, keep aside.
• Combine remaining ingredients (except peanut bars and melted butter).
• Blend at low speed until moistened, beat at a medium speed for 3 minutes.
• Spoon half the batter into a well greased and floured 25cm Bundt, Kuglehopf or ring tin.
• Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
• Spoon remaining batter into tin.
• Top with remaining cinnamon and sugar mix and broken peanut bars.
• Pour melted butter over the top.
• Bake at 160°C for 40minutes.
• Cool for 10min and remove from tin.
• You will now see that the peanut bars have melted and slowly migrated through the cake, leaving delicious trails of toffee and chocolate, and have settled to form a caramel/toffee crust on top.
• The secret is in preparing the tin well before you start to avoid sticking.
• Timing when you remove the cake is also important, but not critical.
• If you remove it too soon, the toffee is still liquid and will ooze over the cake (not necessarily a bad thing), or if you let it cool too much the toffee may set and stick to the tin and break away from the top.
• This is not a big problem either, if this happens simply put the cake tin back into your oven with the toffee still stuck inside, and heat it up for a minute or so.
• It will then be a simple job to remove the softened toffee from the tin and place it back on top of your cake, no one will ever know.
