Homemade Bonfire Toffee Recipe

Many of us Brits will be celebrating Bonfire Night. Why not make your own bonfire toffee to enjoy with friends and family.
Bonfire Toffee Ingredients:300g / 12oz Demerarar sugar
100g / 4oz butter
2 level tablespoons of golden syrup
1 level tablespoon of black treacle
4 tablespoons of water

Bonfire Toffee Method:1.  Put all the ingredients into a pan.
2. Heat slowly, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
3.  Bring to the boil. Cover the pan, and boil gently for 2 minutes.
4.  Uncover the pan, and continue to boil for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5.  Test by dropping a little of the mixture into a cup of cold water. It should seperate into brittle threads.
6. Pour into a buttered 15cm / 6in square tin, and leave to set. I left mine to cool on the window ledge.
7.  Turn out on a board, and break up with a small hammer.

Makes about 500g / 1LB of Toffee.
