This Disneyland-inspired Churro Toffee combines crunchy roasted almonds and buttery toffee topped with creamy white chocolate and a cinnamon-sugar coating. A delightful sweet treat that balances rich flavors and textures, replicating the magic of the classic churro taste with an irresistible toffee twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Toffee Base

  • 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 and Almonds: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and evenly scatter the chopped roasted almonds over it, creating the base layer for your toffee.
  2. Combine Toffee Ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, light corn syrup, and sea salt. This mixture will form the rich and buttery toffee.
  3. Melt and Dissolve Sugars: Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently until the butter melts completely and all the sugars dissolve, ensuring a smooth base.
  4. Cook to Hard Crack Stage: Attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan and continue cooking, stirring carefully to prevent burning, until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage), which is essential for the toffee’s crisp texture.
  5. Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the pan from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract to infuse flavor without cooling down the hot toffee.
  6. Pour Toffee over Almonds: Immediately pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the chopped almonds on the baking sheet, spreading with a heat-safe spatula to cover all evenly.
  7. Cool Toffee: Allow the toffee to cool at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes until it’s firm and solidified, ready for the next step.
  8. Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave or double boiler, melt the white chocolate melting wafers until smooth and fluid, ideal for spreading.
  9. Spread Chocolate Over Toffee: Evenly spread the melted white chocolate over the cooled toffee layer, creating a creamy topping.
  10. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to replicate the classic churro flavor.
  11. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Generously sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the soft white chocolate and gently press it in so it adheres well to the chocolate surface.
  12. Set and Serve: Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or in the fridge, then cut the toffee into squares or break into pieces for serving and enjoying this delectable treat.

Notes

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to ensure even heat distribution and prevent burning the sugar mixture.
  • Be cautious when working with hot toffee as it can cause severe burns.
  • White chocolate melting wafers are ideal for smooth melting and easy spreading.
  • Store the toffee in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispness.
  • If the white chocolate becomes too hard to spread, gently warm it again for a smoother application.
