How to Make Old Fashioned Macintosh Toffee

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, without stirring, and clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan.
  3. Continue to boil, maintaining a steady boil, until the toffee reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer (approximately 15-17 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Quickly pour the toffee onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread it evenly to about ⅛ inch thickness.
  6. Let the toffee cool completely at room temperature before breaking it into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
