Description

This Churro Toffee Disneyland Copycat recipe recreates the delicious and crunchy toffee treat coated with white chocolate and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, reminiscent of the popular Disneyland sweet. It combines buttery, caramelized toffee with roasted almonds, smooth white chocolate, and a cinnamon sugar topping for a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

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

White Chocolate Coating

  • 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers

Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet and Almonds: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and scatter the chopped roasted almonds in an even layer to create a crunchy base for the toffee.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Saucepan: Add the butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, water, corn syrup, and sea salt to a heavy-bottomed saucepan to start the toffee mixture.
  3. Heat and Dissolve Sugars: Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently until the butter completely melts and the sugars dissolve, ensuring an even texture.
  4. Cook to Hard Crack Stage: Attach a candy thermometer to the pan and continue cooking while stirring carefully until the mixture reaches 300°F (149°C), indicating the hard crack stage necessary for toffee.
  5. Add Vanilla Extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract carefully to add flavor without disrupting the temperature.
  6. Pour Toffee Over Almonds: Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the almonds on the baking sheet and spread it using a heat-safe spatula to form a uniform layer.
  7. Cool Toffee: Allow the toffee to cool at room temperature until firm, approximately 30 to 45 minutes, so it sets properly before adding the topping.
  8. Melt White Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate melting wafers until smooth using a microwave or double boiler, taking care not to burn the chocolate.
  9. Spread White Chocolate: Spread the melted white chocolate evenly over the cooled toffee base to cover the surface completely.
  10. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly in a small bowl to create the churro-inspired topping.
  11. Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the soft white chocolate and gently press it in so the topping adheres well.
  12. Set and Cut: Let the white chocolate set completely until firm, then cut the toffee into squares or break it into irregular pieces for serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the candy thermometer is securely attached and do not stir vigorously once the temperature approaches 300°F to prevent crystallization.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal of the toffee once set.
  • Roasted almonds add a delicious crunch, but you can substitute with other nuts like pecans or walnuts if preferred.
  • Store the finished toffee in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent the chocolate topping from melting.
  • Be cautious when handling hot sugar mixtures as they can cause severe burns.
