Ingredients
Method
When you think the toffee syrup has almost reached the colour we suggest, quickly remove the pan from the heat, remembering that the syrup will continue to cook and darken during this time. Let the bubbles subside, then drop a teaspoon of the syrup into a cup of cold water. The toffee should set the instant it hits the cold water; lift it out and break it with your fingers. If the toffee needs to be harder, then return the mixture to the heat and cook a little more. This test is easy, but a candy thermometer removes all the guess work for you. If you have a candy thermometer, boil the mixture until it reaches 138°C/280°F.
