      ty as the link is broken. And I think he said 1/3 cup of water, but it's like a caramel, which you can do dry, but this would help for the butter as well. I'm also using home made Golden syrup instead of corn as I feel it's better. I also hear you can use honey too or instead.

    Just did this recipe with my son exactly like the video showed and it worked great. The final product was a touch soft side but I think our candy thermometer was a little off. There are some videos on toffee floating around which are completely wrong, especially with too much stirring and having the toffee break. Do this one instead, it worked great.

    • @recoveringsoul755
      @recoveringsoul755 Před 5 lety

      if I wanted to make a lot of bark I would just dump chocolate chips on top of it while it was still hot enough to melt them, and spread them around a bit. Then add the nuts. Why melt chocolate and add to cooled toffee? I guess if you wanted to make extra stuff to clean or "use" the toffee in different ways like he did here, you could do that.

    • @421cookies
      @421cookies Před 5 lety

      @@recoveringsoul755 I don't think spreading things on cooling down toffee would be a good idea.
      Since it would makes area that you disturb cool faster, that means the toffee would also have more chance to breaks.
      Just sprinkle them and left it untouched like what thomas said is okay though.

      I think it's very difficult to make your own chocolate, it takes special ingredients like cocoa butter, cocoa solids etc. and I don't think you can just go to a shop and buy those. But I feel your struggle, I'm lactose intolerant and all I can eat is a few of the dark (milkfree) chocolate bars :-(

    You didn't make it very easy to find this recipe from the link you shared.. at least I can't find it. You also on the video, which I understand is 3 years old now, didn't say how much karo syrup.
