How to Make Toffee

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.
  2. Continue stirring constantly for 25-30 minutes, ensuring the mixture does not boil. The sugar will burn if it boils.
  3. The longer you cook the toffee, the harder it will become. For a softer toffee, cook for less time; for a harder toffee, cook for longer.
  4. To test for doneness, drop a small amount of the toffee into a bowl of ice water. If it firms up quickly, it's ready. If not, continue cooking and testing.
  5. Once the toffee reaches your desired consistency, pour it immediately onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup toasted coconut and 1/2 cup toasted nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc.) evenly over the toffee.
  7. Allow the toffee to cool completely. Once cooled, you can cut it (if softer) or break it (if harder) into small pieces.
  8. Enjoy your delicious homemade toffee! Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
