Description

You only need 4 ingredients to make this crunch toffee that is covered in chocolate. This Sponge Toffee has a light, rigid, sponge-like texture that melts in your mouth.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons golden syrup (you can also substitute corn syrup or honey)
  • 3 teaspoons baking soda
  • bittersweet chocolate

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with foil and butter generously. Set aside.
  2. Heat the sugar and syrup in a saucepan. (Make sure your saucepan is big enough for when you add the baking soda and it bubbles up.) Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until it reaches 285F.
  3. Remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda. Stir well so that all of the baking soda will dissolve. Be careful – the mixture will really bubble up and it is extremely hot.
  4. Pour the mixture in the prepared pan to cool.
  5. When cooled, break into pieces. Dip in tempered chocolate. Place on a piece of waxed paper to set.
