Description

This Churro Toffee Disneyland Copycat recipe combines buttery, crunchy toffee layered with toasted almonds and topped with smooth white chocolate and a cinnamon-sugar sprinkle, perfectly replicating the popular Disneyland treat. The toffee is cooked to the hard crack stage for that classic crisp texture, then adorned with sweet and spicy churro flavors.

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
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup roasted almonds, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Almond Layer: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and scatter the chopped roasted almonds in an even layer to form the base for the toffee.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, corn syrup, and sea salt.
  3. Melt and Dissolve: Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently until the butter fully melts and the sugars dissolve completely.
  4. Cook Toffee to Hard Crack Stage: Attach a candy thermometer and continue cooking with careful stirring until the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage), crucial for the crisp texture.
  5. Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the pan from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile.
  6. Pour and Spread Toffee: Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the almonds on the baking sheet, spreading it out with a heat-safe spatula into a uniform layer.
  7. Cool Toffee: Allow the toffee to cool at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes until it is completely firm and set.
  8. Melt White Chocolate: While the toffee cools, melt the white chocolate wafers until smooth and fluid.
  9. Spread White Chocolate: Evenly spread the melted white chocolate over the cooled toffee layer, creating a smooth topping.
  10. Make Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to prepare the churro-style topping.
  11. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the soft white chocolate layer and gently press it in to ensure it sticks.
  12. Set and Cut: Let the chocolate set completely until firm, then cut the toffee into squares or break into pieces to serve.

Notes

  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the toffee reaches the correct temperature for proper texture.
  • Be careful pouring and spreading the hot toffee mixture to avoid burns.
  • For best results, use roasted almonds which enhance flavor and crunch.
  • White chocolate can be melted using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler to avoid burning.
  • Store the finished churro toffee in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
