How to Make Toffee Shards

  1. Line a baking tray (approximately 12x16 inches) with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of water.
  3. Over medium-low heat, stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Continue to boil, without stirring, for 6-8 minutes, or until the toffee reaches a deep amber color (around 300°F on a candy thermometer).
  5. Carefully pour the hot toffee onto the prepared baking tray. Tilt and spread the toffee evenly into a thin layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  6. Immediately sprinkle the toffee with 1/2 cup cachous (or your favorite nuts/seeds).
  7. Let the toffee cool completely and harden for at least 1 hour, or until completely set.
  8. Break the toffee into irregular shards and enjoy!
