MRSMCAWBER

Hi all

Just in case anyone wants it..my mums tried n tested super scrummy bonfire toffee :jshe even used to make it for us to take to school when we were kids its the best in the whole world -ok i am biased - but its the only one I like -the proper dark stuff-and bless her socks she is sending me a batch out here to Germany :T

• In a heavy based pan dissolve 1lb demerara sugar in 1/4pt water -stirring
• add 2oz butter, 4oz treacle and 4oz golden syrup
• stir to combine
• bring to the boil -stirring occasionally
• boil to hard crack stage -149-154c
• tip onto a greased baking tray (NOT non stick) and leave to cool, then tip out and break
• store in a tub-sprinkled with icing sugar to stop it sticking

my mum uses those trays from wilkos for 99p
oohhh and im not being held responsible for any tooth ache

forgot to say -it makes 1 1/4 lbs nomnomnom -mine, all mine lol

Many thanks
Sorry, I meant the bonfire toffee flavoured sweets, but your ingredients are pretty similar to the ones I use to use.
Will give it a whirl.....

Ah, I thought maybe you meant treacle toffee. We always had that on Bonfire night along with Parkin and Jacket tatties.
I'm unsure now, if you do mean treacle toffee, say and I'll post it, otherwise never mind.

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a good bonfire toffee recipe,? (toffee apple post got me thinking!)

My hubbys dear departed Nan used to make it for him every year, I'd love to suprise him this year with some but unsure of the correct recipe, google searches throw up so many!!

It was passed down from mother to daughter for years in his family but his mum had no interest in ever learning, Things have been a bit rubish for him this year and that time of year always seems to make him a bit down so would really love to try and cheer him up!!!

Thanks in advance:D
