Ingredients

Scale

Toffee Base

  • 2 cups Unsalted Butter (room temperature)
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Coating and Topping

  • 4 cups White Melting Wafers or Candy Chocolate
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent the toffee from sticking.
  2. Make Toffee Mixture: In a 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the butter and sugar have fully melted together and formed a smooth mixture.
  3. Cook Toffee to Hard Crack Stage: Attach a candy thermometer to the pan and continue cooking the mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches 300°F. This process, known as the hard crack stage, typically takes 10-15 minutes. Once achieved, immediately turn off the heat to prevent burning and pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Cut Toffee While Soft: Allow the toffee to cool for about 5 minutes until it is slightly firm but still soft enough to cut. Use a large kitchen knife to score the toffee into squares by running the knife over the surface multiple times to avoid the toffee from sticking back together. Let the toffee finish cooling completely, placing it in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.
  5. Break Toffee into Pieces: Once fully cooled and hardened, break the toffee along the scored lines into individual squares or bite-sized pieces.
  6. Melt White Chocolate Wafers: Melt the white chocolate wafers according to the package instructions, typically by using a microwave or double boiler, until smooth and creamy.
  7. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a pie pan or square baking dish, mix the cinnamon with sugar thoroughly to create the churro-flavored coating.
  8. Coat Toffee with Chocolate and Cinnamon Sugar: Dip each piece of toffee into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess chocolate using tongs or clean fingers. Immediately roll or sprinkle the coated toffee in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well covered. Transfer finished pieces onto a clean piece of parchment paper.
  9. Set Chocolate: Let the chocolate on the toffee set and harden at room temperature for about 40 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use a reliable candy thermometer for precise temperature control; reaching 300°F is crucial for proper toffee texture.
  • Be cautious when handling hot toffee as it can cause severe burns.
  • If the toffee starts to harden too quickly before cutting, you can briefly warm the knife to slice more cleanly.
  • For added flavor, try using white chocolate with vanilla or almond extracts mixed in.
  • Store finished churro toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Chilling the toffee can help speed up cooling and make it easier to break into pieces.
