caramel toffee recipe | caramel candy | how to make chewy caramels with step by step photo and video recipes. toffee or any homemade chocolate dessert snack recipes are always special and fun to prepare and serve. generally, we assume these are complex or may not be prepared at home and may require sophisticated machinery and types of equipment. even caramel candy is also believed to be complicated but it can be easily attempted at home and requires only 3 basic ingredients to prepare it.
i have posted several homemade toffee and chocolate recipes till now, but this is something special. the caramel toffee recipe is generally prepared with cream, sugar, butter and a pinch of edible glucose. basically, the edible glucose is added so that it gets a solid crunchy texture. however, it is not something we generally have in our kitchen pantry. hence i have skipped it and followed the recipe without it. in addition, there are simple modifications in the caramel candy recipe steps which should result in a perfectly shaped and textured toffee. having said that, without it, it does not yield the same texture and crunchiness as you may get from the chocolate you buy from the store. hence if you do have access to the edible glucose, i would recommend using it for better results.
furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the caramel toffee recipe. firstly, the cream has to be full cream with a fat percentage of 35% or above. there are different types of cream available at the market and it is recommended to check the contents before purchasing it. secondly, these toffee’s can be shaped as per your choice and there is no strict rule for it. i personally feel the cube shape is easier to manage and slice. hence i sliced caramel candy in cubes, but you may use a shaper or even shape it like peda. lastly, i would heavily recommend storing these in a cool and dry place for longer shelf life. also, wrapping it in baking paper and refrigerating it would improve the shelf life of the toffee.
