How can toffee candy be made at home?

Answer 1

It's pretty simple, really. Heat water and sugar, specific temperature depends on the hardness desired, consult a recipe, create a super saturated sugar solution, add a touch of color and flavor and let cool! Go to Google for more specifics. Don't lick the flavoring, it will burn your tounge. Danger! Hot sugar is very nasty, similar to napalm in its tendancy to stick and burn a person!

Answer 2

It depends upon your definition of candy. When we were kids, we simply melted some plain sugar, or brown sugar, your preference, in a covered sauce pan. When the mixture was beginning to harden, we would quickly spoon out dollops of the soft sugar on a buttered (margarine is okay) cake sheet until it hardened. This tastes pretty good even if you mess up and burn the sugar a bit. BE VERY CAREFUL. Melted sugar is extremely hot and leaves a very nasty burn if you drop it on your skin. If you are the type of individual who hates to wait, you may place the mixture in your refrigerator until it hardens, but then the candy is cold, and it tastes better at room temperature. Enjoy.

Total Time: 30 minutesIngredients:

• 1 (14 ounces) bag caramel candies, unwrapped
• 1 (5 ounces) can evaporated milk, divided use
• 1 (18.25 ounces) chocolate cake mix
• 8 Tbsp (1 stick or 1/2 cup) butter, at room temperature
• 2 cups semi-sweet Chocolate Chips, divided use

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with non-stick foil.

In a double boiler or non-stick saucepan, gently heat unwrapped caramel candies with 1/3 cup evaporated milk. Stir often until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly to room temperature but still liquid.

In a large bowl, combine cake mix, butter, and remaining 1/3 cup evaporated milk. Stir with a spoon until smooth. Batter will be thick.

Spread half of cake mix batter into baking pan, smoothing to an even thickness. Bake 8 to 10 minutes.

Sprinkle 1 cup of chocolate chips over hot bottom layer. Slowly pour melted caramel over chocolate chips. Drop teaspoonsful of remaining chocolate cake batter over the top. Smooth the batter flat as best you can without dislodging the caramel layer. There will be open spaces. Return pan to oven and bake an additional 12 to 15 minutes.

Distribute remaining 1 cup chocolate chips evenly over the top of the hot candy bars, pressing slightly into the top to secure chips.

Cool candy bars to room temperature, then refrigerate 30 minutes before cutting into bars.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Yield: 36 to 48 candy bars, depending on cut size

Answer 4

Toffee candy can be made at home by mixing sugar, water, butter, milk and vanilla in a saucepan, mix until it comes to a boil, take off heat and stir rapidly. Then pour it into a greased tin and put in the freezer for one hour. After that you can cut it and eat it.

Answer 5

To make Candy Canes at home you need a Candy Cane recipe.

You will mix sugar, corn syrup, and water together and heat. Once it reaches hot-crack stage, you add the flavoring. You then divide the mix in half, and put half in the oven to keep warm until you are ready to pull it. You then add red food coloring to the other half of the mix, pull it until the candy looks opaque and glossy, and shape into a roll. Put the red candy in the oven to keep warm while you pull the white candy.

Once you have both a red and a white roll, you start cutting them and twisting them together to form the stripes, then shape a hook on top of the candy. Leave to set until they are hard!

Answer 6

Hard candy, or boiled sweet, is a candy prepared from one or more syrups boiled to a temperature of 149 °C (300 °F).
