Toffee Recipes

This very fun and simple-to-make candy goes by many names; cinder toffee, sponge candy, and my personal favorite, 'hokey pokey,' but no matter what you call it, this eye-catching confection is a proven crowd pleaser. Thousands of bubbles, trapped in the cooling sugar syrup, give this the most interesting melt-in-your-mouth texture. As long as you're very careful and heat the syrup up to the correct temp, there's not a lot that can go wrong.

This candy tastes wonderful and takes about 15 minutes to make. My sister and I did three batches in an hour one year for Christmas. I use a cast iron skillet and some times just a few of the almonds to help gauge the readiness.

Condensed milk cooked with butter and coconut flakes, formed into little candy balls makes this a favorite Brazilian recipe especially at birthday parties. Kids (and adults) love it!

My husband is from Sri Lanka and he grew up enjoying this fudge-type candy on very special occasions. With a little help from a few of his aunts, I came up with this version.

A simple but delicious treat. Using both butter and margarine is important.

Ready in minutes, this toffee takes all the guesswork out of candy making, and is by far the most requested holiday treat I make. My family won't let me in the door without a few batches in tow. Makes a great gift wrapped up in a holiday tin!

This is a family recipe that we make each year for the holidays. It is my absolute favorite!

Salty and sweet with a crunch! Easily substitute different types of chocolate and/or peanut butter. Nuts are a great addition.

A Swedish type of Christmas candy you can do at home, but nothing says that you can't make these in the summer. Tastes like toffee.

A smooth and deliciously-flavored fudge. You could also use walnuts instead of pecans. A co-worker shared this wonderful recipe with me and the entire office loved it!

This is a easy recipe, but better than that, they taste wonderful! Everyone that tastes them always wants the recipe. Try them once and you'll be hooked!
