Cinder Toffee Treats

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinder Toffee Treats.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious toffee adventure, grab a rimmed 8x12-inch baking pan and give it a good greasing.

2. Step 2

   Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, making sure it extends at least 2 inches above the edges for easy removal later.

3. Step 3

   Don’t forget to grease the parchment with a little butter to keep everything from sticking.

4. Step 4

   Now, let’s move to the stovetop! In a deep, heavy-bottomed saucepan, mix together white sugar, golden syrup, water, and a splash of vanilla extract.

5. Step 5

   Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and let it come to a boil without stirring.

6. Step 6

   This is the moment to watch closely! Keep heating until the mixture reaches a temperature of 310°F (155°C).

7. Step 7

   You can also test it by dropping a small amount into cold water; it should form hard, brittle threads.

8. Step 8

   This process usually takes about 10 minutes.

9. Step 9

   If you notice any sugar crystals forming on the sides of the pan, simply brush them away with a clean pastry brush dipped in water.

10. Step 10

    Once your mixture hits that perfect temperature, carefully remove it from the heat and stir in the baking soda.

11. Step 11

    Be cautious, as it will foam up quite a bit! Stir quickly until the foaming calms down and the mixture takes on a lovely golden hue.

12. Step 12

    Now, it’s time to pour this sweet concoction into your prepared baking pan.

13. Step 13

    Let it cool and set for about 15 minutes.

14. Step 14

    Once it’s firm, break the toffee into bite-sized chunks and enjoy your homemade treat! This toffee is perfect for sharing or savoring all on your own.

15. Step 15

    Happy cooking!.
