Recipes to use up Thorntons toffee?

Burp_2

I am addicted to Thorntons original toffee and my OH bought me a huge box at Christmas which I've slowly been chopping my way through!

I'm still only half way through the box and it suddenly dawned on me that I may be able to use the toffee in some recipes - anybody tried this before?

I was thinking of chopping some up and throwing it in a flapjack mix

Any other suggestions?

Cheers

I melted down the round gold wrapped toffees, from our Christmas tin of Quality Street, with a tin of condensed milk, added some past their best chopped cooking apples and baked in a pastry case in the oven until gold brown.

OMG........it was gooooooorgeous!

I found a recipe recently for those little molten middle choc puddings and they put a werthers toffee (2 perhaps) in the centre before baking, so you got toffee goo in the middle mixed with the choc. I havent tried it but wouldn't Thorntons work as well ?

Got this recipe from Easy Cook;

Makes 18 and it says suitable for freezing
1oog dark chocolate,plus 50g to decorate
175g butter I use stork
250g creamy toffees I used Werthers Chewy
5tbsp double cream
4 eggs
2tsp vanilla essance
1 tsp baking powder

Turn the oven to 160c/gas 4.Grease a 28/18cm shallow baking tin and line the base with baking paper.Break up 100g of the chocolate and put in large bowl the butter. Sit over a pan of simmering water stirring occasionally,until melted. Put the toffees and cream in another pan and melt gently,stirring.

Stir the sugar into the chocolate mixture.Lightly beat the eggs with the vanilla then stir into the mixture.Sift in the flour and baking powder and mix lightly. Pour half the mixture into the tin and drizzle over three quarters of the toffee sauce.
Spread over the rest of the brownie mixture.
Bake for 40mins until firm to touch.Leave to cool in tin for 20 mins then peel away the baking paper and leave to cool on wire rack.

Reheat the remaning toffee sauce and in separate bowl melt the remaining 50g chocolate over bowl of simmering water.With the tip of a teaspoon,quickly drizzle the toffee over the brownie repeat with the chocolate.Leave to set then cut into slices.

Nice simple one here

Simply add toffee to teeth and saliva.

Can you freeze toffee? Bag some up and put it in the freezer for later. Might be a nice discovery

I've eaten so much of the raw state stuff I'm starting to go off it - so was hoping to use it up in a recipe!
