Easy Chocolate Cake

This classic Toffee is buttery and rich, and pairs very well with Dark Chocolate. For easily printable instructions, please refer to the English Toffee Recipe.

Begin by assembling your ingredients:

* 3/4 cup almonds, toasted and Choped
* 1 pound of dark chocolate
* 2 cups (1 pound) butter
* 2-2/3 cups granulated sugar
* 1/3 cup water
* 1/4 cup light corn Syrup

You will also need a large baking sheet with 1" sides, covered with foil and sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.





Cut the butter into small, even squares. Place the chopped butter, sugar, water, and corn syrup in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat.





Stir the mixture constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the butter is melted. Insert a candy thermometer and bring the candy to a boil. Periodically brush down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar crystals from forming on the sides and turning your candy unpleasantly gritty.





Continue to cook the candy, stirring frequently, until it reaches 300 degrees on the candy thermometer. If the candy appears to separate (with a layer of melted butter on top) carefully stir it vigorously to make it come back together again. Watch the candy as it approaches 300, since it cooks quickly and can easily scorch at high temperatures. As it reaches the proper temperature it will turn a dark, golden amber color.





Once the candy reaches 300 degrees, carefully remove the pan from heat and pour the toffee onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not scrape out the remaining candy clinging to the sides and bottom of the pan. Be very careful during this process, as hot sugar can cause painful burns.





1. Immediately after the toffee is poured onto the baking sheet, use a spatula to spread the candy to an even thickness.

2. Allow the toffee to begin to set for a minute or two, then spray a knife with nonstick cooking spray and score the toffee into small squares or rectangles, firmly cutting through to the bottom of the pan. Allow the toffee to cool completely.




Once the toffee is cool, carefully break it apart on the scored lines into small squares. At this point, the toffee is finished and can be served plain. If you wish to dip it in chocolate, proceed to the next step.





To dip the toffee in chocolate, begin by Melting Chocolate. Place it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it in one-minute increments, stirring after every minute to prevent Overheating.

Dip each piece of toffee in the chocolate. You can dip it halfway in, or if you prefer, you can use a fork or dipping tools to submerge the toffee pieces entirely in chocolate. Remove the toffee from the chocolate and drag the bottom of the fork across the lip of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Place dipped toffee pieces on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. You can serve the Chocolate Dipped toffee as-is, or if you would like to cover it with chopped nuts, proceed to the next step.




While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the tops of the toffee bars generously with chopped nuts. Repeat with the remaining chocolate, toffee and nuts.






Place the toffee in the refrigerator to set the chocolate for about 20-30 minutes. Once the chocolate is set, the toffee can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Easy Chocolate Cake

This classic Toffee is buttery and rich, and pairs very well with dark chocolate. Do not substitute margarine for the butter—you will sacrifice essential flavor. Be sure to check out the photo guide with step-by-step instructions showing how to Make Toffee.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

* 3/4 cup almonds
* 1 pound of dark chocolate
* 2 cups (1 pound) butter
* 2-2/3 cups granulated sugar
* 1/3 cup water
* 1/4 cup light corn syrup

Preparation

1. Toast the nuts by spreading them on a cookie sheet and placing them in a 325-degree oven for approximately 10 minutes. Stir them every 3-4 minutes, and remove them once they darken and become fragrant. Let the nuts cool, then chop them finely.

2. Prepare a 12x16 inch cookie sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.

3. Combine the butter, sugar, water and corn syrup in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly to dissolve the sugar and melt the butter. Insert a candy thermometer and bring the candy to a boil, periodically brushing down the sides with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystallization.

4. Continue to cook the candy, stirring frequently, until it reaches 300 degrees. If the candy appears to separate (with a layer of melted butter on top) stir vigorously to make it come back together again. Watch the candy as it approaches 300, since it cooks quickly and can scorch at high temperatures.

5. Once the candy reaches 300 degrees, remove from heat and pour it onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula or spoon to spread the candy to an even thickness. Allow the toffee to begin to set, then spray a knife with nonstick cooking spray and score the toffee into small squares or rectangles. Allow the toffee to cool completely.

6. Once the toffee is cool, break it apart on the scored lines into small squares. The toffee can be left plain, or dipped in chocolate.

7. To dip the toffee in chocolate, begin by melting the chocolate. Place it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it in one-minute increments, stirring after every minute to prevent overheating.

8. Dip each piece of toffee in the chocolate, either submerging it completely or dipping it halfway in, according to your preference. Place dipped toffee pieces on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the top generously with chopped nuts. Repeat with remaining toffee, chocolate and nuts.

9. Place the toffee in the refrigerator to set the chocolate, about 30 minutes. Once set, toffee can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Easy Chocolate Cake

Toffee-Topped Fudge combines two classic favorites into one great candy. A smooth, tangy fudge is topped with crunchy, sweet toffee, and both flavors benefit from the pairing. You can use almost any kind of toffee for this recipe: homemade, purchased toffee bits, or chopped toffee bars (regular or chocolate-covered).

Ingredients

* 6 oz unsweetened chocolate
* 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
* 4 cups (1 lb) powdered sugar
* 2 tsp Vanilla extract
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 cup toffee bits or chopped toffee bars

Preparation

1. Prepare a 9x9 pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Chop the unsweetened chocolate and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it until melted, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating.

3. Meanwhile, place the room temperature cream cheese in the bowl of a large stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. (Alternately, you could use a large bowl and a hand mixer.) Beat the cream cheese until it is creamy and smooth.

4. Once the chocolate is melted, pour it into the cream cheese and beat until combined. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt, and start the mixer on low. Once all the sugar is mixed in, stop the mixer again and scrape it down, and run it once more until all ingredients are well-incorporated and there are no dry patches.

5. Scrape the fudge into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Scatter the toffee in a thick layer on top and press it firmly into the fudge.

6. Refrigerate the fudge to set it, about 90 minutes. Once set, remove the fudge from the pan using the foil as handles. Cut it into small one-inch pieces to serve. For optimal taste and texture, serve this fudge at room temperature. It will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, but after several days the toffee will start to get soft and sticky, so I recommend eating it before then!
