About Toffee

Toffee is a confection made by cooking sugar with butter or another fat, often with dairy ingredients, until the mixture sets into a chewy or brittle sweet. It is eaten as a sweet or used as a flavouring or inclusion in other foods; recipes and commercial products vary.

Depending on cooking temperature and formulation, toffee ranges from soft and chewy to hard and crisp, commonly with a golden to deep-brown colour and a buttery, caramel-like flavour. It may be plain or contain additions such as nuts. Nutrition comparisons depend on recipe, texture, added inclusions and portion moisture.
