Hello there!
Whenever I have made it I liberally butter the cookie sheet otherwise it sticks like bugger! As for the thickness just let it run out, it will go to the thickness it wants. I let mine harden before adding chocolate and nuts.
BTW, I have a great recipe for Almond Roca that is SOOOOOO yummy! I can PM the recipe to you if would like..... |

Oooh yes i'd be interested in the recipes and if you have a recipe for fudge without marshmallows or marshmallow cream, I'd be eternally grateful. I cant get those here and if I can, they are so expensive, you wouldn't believe it.
My email is cakes@shanghai-schroeder.de |

I line the cookie sheet with foil then butter liberally, let it go to where its got to go. If you want a thicker toffee, use a lined cake pan that is a bit smaller then a cookie sheet. I let the toffee set up hard before adding the chocolate and nuts. |

Hi there! In making toffee, I line a sheet pan with tinfoil and spray it will cooking oil spray before I pour the toffee onto it. I like to fold the edges of the tinfoil itself making corners and sides so that it is a bit smaller than the sheet pan. This contains the toffee to keep it a little thicker and keeps it from spreading out completely onto the sheet pan and thinning out around the edges. I like my toffe to be a good quarter inch thick. I wait for it to cool and break it into bite size random pieces. Now I chop my nuts and melt my chocolate so they are ready to go, then begin coating each piece and setting onto parchment or wax paper until hardened...an hour or so. I like to coat both sides. It works best to use one hand for dipping into the chocolate then the other for the nuts. A dry and wet hand if you will. It's like a production line. I love to sit down and have a Christmas movie playing or listen to Christmas music while doing this. Last week I made 24 pounds/5 batches of toffee that I am selling at my son's school for a fundraiser for the school. So far so good! I love English toffee! It's definetly a classic! Have fun!!! |

I let my toffee sit for a short amount of time then sprinkle the chocolate on wait a couple minutes and spread it out. Then I sprinkle the nuts on. |
