My whole family loved this candy! I make it often, and also use it as a garnish for many desserts.
could I substitute honey for the corn syrup?
What salt can I use instead of Fleur de Sel? Thanks
This is the best toffee I have ever had. It's super easy to make, got the perfect texture, and the light salt gives it a special flavor.
This toffee is asbolutely delicious!! I was using a fat glass candy thermometer (clipped to the side of a pot) at my friendn n n n n n s house and the thermometer was not getting a good reading even though the bulb was completely immersed, so go by your eyes and the time as well as the temp. I would recommend tipping the pot if needed to get an accurate reading. I almost burned it.
