Answer 2

Ingredients:
1 pound butter
1/2 cup water
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
16 ounces milk chocolate chips


Directions:

Bring first 4 ingredients to a boil over high heat in a 2-quart saucepan (nonstick works best) and stir constantly until temperature on candy thermometer reaches 300 degrees G (approx 10-13 minutes).

Pour into an ungreased 10x13 inch baking sheet and spread evenly to coat. Will begin hardening immediately so move quickly. Sprinkle milk chocolate chips evenly over hot toffee and wait 1 minute till they begin to melt. Spread softened chocolate evenly over entire pan (like frosting) and chill for 2 hours.

Slam pan once on counter to crack and break apart into about 2-inch or smaller pieces. Store chilled in a sealed plastic bag or container and let get to room temperature before serving.

Answer 3

1 lb sugar - preferably Demerara
1/3 pint water
1 ¼ ozs butter
2 level tablespoons golden syrup
1 teaspoon vinegar


Method
1. Put all the ingredients into a strong saucepan and stir over a steady heat until the sugar has dissolved.

2. Bring to the boil and cook until the mixture reaches the 'hard crack' stage, 290 degrees F. To test for the hard crack stage drop about half a teaspoon of the mixture into a cup of cold water, if it is hard then it is done, if still soft and chewy cook for a little longer and test again.

3. Pour into oiled or buttered tin and either allow to set as a slab or mark in squared as toffee becomes partially set. Break when completely set. we used to put them in paper cake cases to set
