Toffee

Toffee, sometimes called "caramel candy", is a soft, dense, chewy candy made by boiling a mixture of milk or cream, sugar(s), glucose, butter, and vanilla. The sugar and glucose are heated separately to reach 130 °C (270 °F); the cream and butter are then added which cools the mixture.

2 cups sugar
¼ cup light corn syrup
1¼ cups heavy cream

In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine ½ cup water with sugar and corn syrup. Place over high heat and cook, brushing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush, until mixture is amber in color. Immediately remove from heat and slowly stir in cream. Let cool to room temperature before using.

Make enough for thirty 1" tarts.
