Ingredients

Scale

Toffee Layer

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup roasted almonds, chopped

Topping

  • 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and evenly scatter the chopped roasted almonds over the surface to create the base layer for the toffee.
  2. Combine Toffee Ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, light corn syrup, and fine sea salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the butter melts and sugars dissolve completely.
  3. Cook Toffee to Hard Crack Stage: Attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan and continue cooking the mixture, stirring carefully to prevent burning, until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
  4. Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the pan from the heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract to infuse flavor into the hot toffee.
  5. Pour Toffee Over Almonds: Immediately pour the hot toffee evenly over the arranged almonds. Use a heat-safe spatula to spread the toffee into an even layer ensuring almonds are fully covered.
  6. Cool Toffee: Allow the toffee to cool at room temperature without disturbance for about 30 to 45 minutes until it firms up completely.
  7. Melt White Chocolate: While the toffee cools, gently melt the white chocolate melting wafers until smooth. This can be done in a microwave in short bursts or over a double boiler.
  8. Spread Chocolate Over Toffee: Once the toffee has firmed, evenly spread the melted white chocolate on top of the toffee surface before it sets to create a smooth chocolate layer.
  9. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar with ground cinnamon to create the classic churro cinnamon sugar topping.
  10. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the softened white chocolate and gently press it in so it adheres well to the chocolate layer.
  11. Set and Serve: Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature until firm. Then cut the toffee into squares or break it into pieces to serve.

Notes

  • Be sure to monitor the temperature carefully while cooking the toffee to reach exactly 300°F for a crunchy texture.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent hot spots and burning of the sugar mixture.
  • Chilling the toffee is not necessary; just allow it to cool at room temperature for proper setting.
  • White chocolate can seize if overheated, so melt gently and stir frequently.
  • Store leftover toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
