    Toffee Crisps are a delicious sweet treat that is easy to make, and great to have on hand!

    Toffee Crisps | It's Not Complicated Recipes #glutenfree #toffee #toffeecrisp #dessert #sweettreats #easydessert

    I have adapted this lovely recipe from the Australian Women’s Weekly “Cooking Class Cookbook”.

    It’s difficult to categorise the Toffee Crisps; they fit somewhere between a biscuit and confectionery. But one thing is certain; you will find the crisps absolutely delicious and very moreish.

    Toasted almond flakes are tossed into a buttery toffee, allowed to set and then coated on one side with rich, dark chocolate. The Toffee Crisps are ideal to serve with coffee after dinner or as a sweet treat any time.

    They are not difficult to make but the toffee making part does require your attention. A candy thermometer is not required, just your judgement as to when the coffee is the right colour.

    If you like this recipe, I think you will also enjoy our Almond Cookies or Pecan Puffs!

    I hope you enjoy these delicious sweet treats. Please do let us know what you think.

    Ingredients

    • 220 gm caster sugar
    • 125 ml water
    • 185 gm flaked almonds
    • 125 gm dark chocolate broken or chopped to small pieces
    • 90 gm butter

    Instructions

    • Cover a large oven tray with aluminium foil.
    • Using a scone cutter as a guide, mark 5cm circles on foil. I found the easiest way to do this was to temporarily place a double folded tea towel under the foil. That way it was easier to imprint than on a hard surface.
    • Meanwhile, pre-heat your oven to 180 Degrees C (350 F). Place almonds on a separate tray, and put into the oven for approximately 5 minutes or until golden brown. Stir the almonds once or twice to help them brown evenly.
    • Place sugar, water and butter into a medium sized saucepan, stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted.
    • Bring to a boil, boil uncovered about 25 minutes or until the mixture becomes a dark golden brown. Do not stir once the toffee comes to the boil.
    • Remove from the heat immediately, add the almonds all at once and stir just enough to combine. If you over-stir the mixture the sugar will crystallise.
    • Working quickly, place tablespoons of mixture on to circles, pressing out to the edge of the circles with the back of a spoon.
    • If the mixture becomes too thick, return the saucepan to the heat for a few seconds.
    • Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
    • Place the bowl on top of a saucepan which contains a small amount of barely simmering water.
    • Stir until the chocolate has melted; allow to slightly cool.
    • Turn the crisps over on to the flat side. Spoon some chocolate onto the flat side and spread out to the edge.
    • Allow chocolate to set – around 10 minutes.
