Hazelnut Toffee Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick silicone liner and coat it with cooking spray. Set aside.
• On another baking sheet, roast the hazelnuts until fragrant, 10 minutes. Remove them to a plate.
• Combine the butter, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, whisking until melted. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the mixture registers 300 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Immediately remove from the heat and stir in the hazelnuts. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and smooth with an offset spatula. Let dry for about 1 1/2 minutes, then scatter the chocolate chips on top. As they melt, spread the chocolate to the outer edges of the toffee with an offset spatula. Sprinkle with sea salt and freeze until set, about 30 minutes. Peel the toffee away from the silicone liner and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into pieces with a sharp knife. The toffee will keep, tightly covered, up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Line a 9 inch square pan with enough aluminum foil to extend a little past the edges, and butter the foil.
• Place chocolate chips in a glass bowl, and cook in the microwave, stirring every 20 to 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Spread the melted chocolate in the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside in the refrigerator to cool while you make the candy part.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, butter, hazelnuts and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring to blend as the butter melts. Heat the mixture to 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball.
• Pour over the cooled chocolate, and spread into an even layer. Return to the refrigerator to cool. When completely cool, break into bite size pieces, and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Coat a 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet withcooking spray, and line with parchment. Melt butterand sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add water and corn syrup. Cook until a candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to even out color. Pour mixture onto baking sheet without spreading. Let cool.
• Spread chocolate over top, and sprinkle with hazelnuts. Refrigerate until firm, about 45 minutes. Break into pieces.

Bake at 300° until toasted, about 15 minutes; set aside., In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, water and corn syrup; bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover and boil for 2 minutes. Stir in butter; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until a thermometer reads 300°-310° (hard-crack stage). Remove from heat; quickly stir in salt, baking soda, orange extract and 1-1/4 cups toasted hazelnuts. , Pour onto a greased baking sheet and spread to 1/4-in. thickness.

Steps:

• Put the hot coffee and some Chocolate-Toffee Syrup in a large mug and mix until combined. Stir in the hot milk, top with some whipped cream and drizzle with more syrup, if desired.
• Cook the sugar in a medium, heavy saucepan over medium heat, undisturbed, until it begins to melt, then continue to cook, stirring slowly with a fork, until melted and pale golden. Continue to cook, swirling the pan, until the sugar is a deep golden caramel.
• Remove from the heat and carefully add the warm cream down side of pan (the mixture will bubble and steam vigorously), return the caramel to the heat, add the chocolate and salt and stir until smooth. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla.

Steps:

• 1. Spread the chopped nuts on a cookie sheet and toast in 350 deg F oven for 10-15 min, stirring often. Watch carefully so they don't burn. 2. In a pot with a candy thermometer, melt the butter and add the sugar, corn syrup, and salt. 3. Stir frequently and cook the sugar until it reaches 285 deg F. This may take about 20 min. 4. Remove the pot from the heat and add the vanilla (if using it), then the nuts. Stir the mixture very well. You can place the pot back on the burner set to low to mix. 5. Spread the toffee on a cookie sheet (I like to have parchment on the sheet but you don't have to). A rubber spatula helps to push the toffee out flat and evenly. 6. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, 30-45 sec at a time, stirring well each time until just melted and smooth. Spread this on top of the toffee. 7. Let the toffee cool and harden. This takes about 2-3 hours at room temperature, but you could put it in the freezer to speed it up. 8. Cut the toffee with a heavy sharp knife and store in an airtight container with wax paper.
