Great Walnut Toffee Recipe

This is one of my favourite toffee recipes so i thought id share it :)

Ingredients

Serves: 20

225g butter

200g caster sugar

1 tablespoon golden syrup

3 tablespoons water

150g chopped walnuts, divided

150g plain chocolate, chopped

Preparation method

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 20 mins | Extra time: 15 mins

1. Butter a 23cm square baking dish, and set aside.

2. Melt 225g butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and syrup until smooth. Heat to 145 degrees C using a sugar thermometer.

3. When the temperature has been reached, stir in 2/3 of the walnuts, and cook for 3 more minutes, stirring constantly. Pour into the prepared dish, and allow to cool. When the toffee is cooled, remove from the dish, and place onto greaseproof paper.

4. Melt chocolate chips in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, or in a glass bowl in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.

5. Spread 1/2 of the melted chocolate onto one side of the toffee slab, and sprinkle with half of the remaining nuts. Allow to cool until set, then repeat with the other side. Break into bite size pieces when set.
