Product Information

Pecans : Toasting pecans is a great way to bring their flavor out. Almonds can be used in place of pecans if you prefer. Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper then spread an even layer of chopped pecans out and set aside. Immediately pour over the pecans and use a spatula to spread to the edges. Set aside for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly.

If you are making the lollipops ensure you use silicon molds that can tolerate the high temperature of the cooked toffee. Do not use metal molds – remember, toffee can weld itself to metal. And no amount of teasing or bashing will shift these lollipops out. How do I know? ….. 24 hours of soaking my pops out of metal molds #kitchenfailsIf you are making lollipops, then you will most likely have far too much toffee to fill your molds. Prepare a couple of tins of different sizes to pour the excess toffee into. As a guide: I made 8 lollipops, each measuring approx 1.5 inches using ¼ of the recipe listed here Sweets UK - Foam Style! Clinging to the ‘health train’ and the food-shaped theme, perhaps you remember Foam Bananas. If not, it might sound like a funny name, but these 1980s sweets couldn’t really be called anything more suitable. They’re soft and juicy chews with a mild banana flavour, perfect for people who want a bit of a change from plain chocolate, or the ultra-sweet hit of a boiled sweet. These might not look quite as real as the Sweet Peanuts, but the bright yellow with a gentle green tinge is convincing enough for everyone to enjoy them! The chocolate is optional. You can leave it out or use 1/2 a cup instead for a paper thin layer. Milk, semisweet, or bittersweet are all fine, it’s really up to your personal preference.

Grease & line a metal pan with baking parchment and put on a flat, heatproof surface. Also lay any silicon lollipop molds that you are using on a flat, heatproof surface Sugar : Granulated white sugar is recommended. English toffee uses brown sugar. No corn syrup is needed! While sweet, toffee has a deep caramel flavor that goes well with chocolate. The ample amount of butter added to the sugar gives it a delicate melt in your mouth consistency that makes it easier to eat than brittle. What is the difference between toffee and English toffee?

Lollipops for kids

I recommend lining your baking tins with baking parchment. Although some recipes suggest greasing the baking tin and pouring the toffee in, I have had mixed results. Lining the tin with parchment removes the risk that the toffee will weld itself to the tin and refuse to come out Use a large heavy based saucepan – the ingredients should come just ¼ up the side of the pan when added. As the toffee cooks it will bubble and boil, rising up the side of the pan significantly. If your pan is too small the toffee will take a long time to reach the required temperature. And, if it boils over, onto your hob, it will be nasty to clean up Anglo Bubbly might be a top UK 80s sweet for anyone who loved bubblegum. It was actually invented in the 1970s, but it’s definitely one a lot of people also associated with the fun of the 80s! It stands on its own in the world of bubblegumsweets, and what you may not have realised about it is that it’s actually pear flavoured! Now that’s something we feel they’d be pretty unlikely to come up with today – pear just doesn’t seem to be a common flavour anymore, despite how absolutely delicious it is. With its bright blue and pink wrapping, this has some major curb appeal, but it definitely lives up to the promises it makes! Yum!

Tip the sugar, cream and butter into a large, heavy-based, deep saucepan and heat gently, stirring occasionally until all the ingredients have come together and the sugar and butter have melted. Some recipes suggest adding cream of tartar or white wine vinegar. This is to help prevent the formation of sugar crystals. You can use either. But watch the quantities – my recipe calls for 1 tbsp of vinegar or ¼ tsp cream of tartar – quite a difference If you are making the lollipops ensure you use silicon molds that can tolerate the high temperature of the cooked toffee. Do not use metal molds – remember, toffee can weld itself to metal. And no amount of teasing or bashing will shift these lollipops out. How do I know? ….. 24 hours of soaking my pops out of metal molds #epicfailStore in an airtight tin (using baking parchment to keep layers of toffee separate) or wrap up in boxes or cellophane bags to give as gifts Use the BEST ingredients you can find. Using quality butter and chocolate will ensure you have the best toffee recipe. Caramel is cooked to the softball stage 240F, while toffee is cooked to 305F, the hardball stage. The higher cook temperature makes it into a solid while also adding more depth of flavor as the sugar caramelizes more. What does it taste like? Toasting nuts is always a nice way to bring out more depth of flavor in your toffee. Spread the chopped pecans on a baking sheet and bake at 350F for about 4 minutes or until fragrant.
