Ingredients
2 1/3 cups caster sugar
1 tbsp brown vinegar
1 cup cold water
100s and 1000s, to decorate
Instructions
- Line two 12-hole mini muffin pans with paper cases (1 1/2-tbsp capacity).
- In a heavy-based saucepan, combine caster sugar, vinegar, and 1 cup cold water over low heat. Stir for about 3 minutes until the sugar completely dissolves.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Do not stir. Cook for 12–15 minutes, or until the mixture turns a deep golden color.
- Remove from the heat and let it stand for about 1 minute, until the bubbles subside.
- Working quickly, pour the hot toffee into the prepared paper cases and sprinkle with 100s and 1000s.
- Leave to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until hard and glossy.
Notes
Do not stir once the mixture starts boiling to prevent crystallization.
Add a pinch of sea salt or a drop of vanilla for extra flavor.
Top with crushed nuts, coconut, or edible glitter for variation.
Use colored paper cases for festive occasions.
Clean the pan easily by filling with hot water and letting the toffee dissolve.
