Can you make toffee apples with ready made toffee?

Answer 1

You need half cup of butter, half cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of black treacle, and 2 tablespoons of malt vinegar. Start by melting the butter in a heavy saucepan and then add the other ingredients. Next heat to the point the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, stirring gently for 10 mintues. Drop a small amount of the mixture in to a saucer of cold water, if it forms a hard ball it is ready.

Answer 2

Toffee is so simple to make, there is nothing that could be described as a cheat way of making it. All you do is heat butter and sugar to 300F (150C) in a saucepan and then pour it onto a silicone baking mat or sheet of parchment paper, let it cool and then put it in the fridge until it's completely set.

You must use a sugar thermometer to make toffee, and the thermometer can be used for making many other types of candy as well.

There are heaps of recipes for toffee; the link below has one for English toffee, plus a link to troubleshooting any problems with making toffee.

Strictly speaking, there's not much cheating in cooking. Provided what you end up with looks and tastes good, why would you think of it as cheating? It isn't.

Just try to be sure you have the right ingredients before you start, and that you know what all the instructions mean. The baking911 link can help with problems you might encounter with baking.

Well I think you would have to melt it in the microwave first to make it runny
