Homemade toffee - a beloved dessert of the Russian era
Homemade toffee is a delicacy that has been popular since Russian times, which you can prepare yourself in your kitchen. The basic recipe for such sweets is quite simple and contains only three ingredients: sugar, sour cream and butter. There are several more variations of this dessert. But they are all identical in one thing - they contain only natural ingredients and the absence of harmful additives, which cannot be said about store-bought products. The calorie content of the product is about 380-400 kcal per 100 g. This is a rather impressive figure, but if you eat a few candies, this will not have a negative impact on your health and figure. Let's look at several step-by-step recipes on how to create toffee at home.
Taffy with sour cream
This is the most common manufacturing option with the smallest set of ingredients. Cooking time for three servings is 40 minutes.
- Granulated sugar and sour cream – 220 g each;
- Butter – 30 g.
Preparing toffees at home:
- If you need to create more of this sweet treat, double or triple the amount of ingredients this toffee recipe includes;
- In a separate stainless steel container (not an enameled one), combine sugar and sour cream. Place on medium flame, bring to a boil, do not forget to stir always;
- At first, the mixture will be covered with small bubbles. Stir and do not leave the stove;
- After some time, the mixture will look like condensed milk. Stir and especially work the bottom well;
- Soon the mixture will change color and become creamy and thick, so you will soon get sticky candies. If you want the darkest color of the delicacies, then increase the cooking time and stirring intensity;
- When you are one hundred percent satisfied with the color, remove the dish from the heat and add butter. Mix it thoroughly into the composition;
- A thick toffee mass came out. Quickly pour it into molds, or pour it onto a flat surface, greasing it with butter;
- You can use any molds, for example, glass for baking or silicone for candies. It is better to create cuts immediately with a damp knife on the surface; later it will be easier to divide our sour cream toffees into pieces. It is necessary to give the yummy some time to harden;
- Next, release the delicacy from the mold and cut into portions. Makes approximately 260 grams of sweets.
Toffees with milk
The recipe for butterscotch with milk will send children into ecstasy. And if you also involve your child in the cooking process itself, for example, let him fill the molds with a viscous mass, the child will be extremely happy.
- Butter – 30-40 g;
- Granulated sugar and milk - 200 g each;
- Vanilla sugar - two teaspoons;
- Honey (preferably natural) – a large spoon;
- Vegetable oil.
- Take a container with a thick bottom, pour milk into it and put it on the flame. Add regular sugar and vanilla. The last one can be replaced with 2 drops of vanilla essence;
- Add honey to milk, stir well. When the milky-honey consistency boils, the heat must be reduced;
- Next, add butter to the bubbling mixture and stir;
- Cook everything over low heat and be sure to stir. Do not leave the product unattended, it may “escape”;
- The mixture should thicken and take on a caramel color. This will take about half an hour, and the goodies will be ready;
- Grease a mold for ice or candy with vegetable oil. Fill the cells with the sweet mixture and place in the refrigerator until completely hardened. If there is no suitable form, then the candy mass is distributed on oiled parchment paper in such a way that a rectangle about 2 cm wide comes out. After cooling, cut the delicacy with a knife so that small toffees come out;
- We wait for complete hardening and then remove the sweetness from the mold;
- It is better to store the dessert in the refrigerator in a closed container, because at room temperature the candies may melt and soften.

Toffee candies: culinary {instructions} for use

So, let's try to make homemade toffee candies using various recipes - it's so delicious!
Subtleties of making toffee candies
All recipes for making toffee boil down to one thing - milk, cream or sour cream is boiled with sugar, and then mixed with butter and vanilla. From time to time butter is added to milk before heat treatment, from time to time after - depending on the recipe. Then the mass is poured into a mold, cooled and beautifully cut. In general, toffee is a milk fudge that, depending on the amount of ingredients, time and temperature of production, acquires a different texture and taste.
Iris can be soft, viscous, hard or semi-hard. From time to time, flour, crushed nuts and sesame are added to it to make the mass as thick as possible. Chocolate and vanilla candies, glazed or fruit toffee, and candies with caramel inside are very tasty. For contrast, you can flavor this dessert with any number of spices and additives.
In the process of making milk fudge, it is necessary to constantly stir the mass, otherwise it will stick to the walls of the dish and burn. For this reason, it should be cooked over low heat, and readiness should be checked by dropping the mixture into a glass of cool water. If the drop turns into a ball, the toffee is ready. It is better to pour the mixture onto a surface made of glass, alloy or ceramic, since it is difficult to separate from wood.

English toffees for tea
It turns out that the British also adore toffee, but they prepare it in their own way. How to create British style toffees? For this we need butter, sugar, corn syrup and almonds.

The cooled candies are simply separated from the paper; the mixture is soft, chewy and tender. By the way, you can use a box of ordinary chocolates with hollows as molds for toffee.
Lemon toffee: culinary creativity
Even those who don’t like citrus fruits will like this unusual dessert. The fact is that in such toffees there is absolutely no sourness, but there is the smell of the freshest lemon. These candies can be called diet sweets due to the absence of milk and butter products, so for those who are on a diet, they can be a real salvation.
Dissolve 400 g of sugar in 120 ml of water and bring the water to a boil, stirring constantly so that the syrup does not burn. Separately dilute 100 g of gelatin in water in accordance with the instructions on the package. When the gelatin has dissolved, mix it with sweet syrup and cook the mixture for 10 minutes. Add 2 tbsp. l. lemon juice. Pour the syrup into the mold; When it hardens, carefully cut it into squares and taste it.

How to create toffee candies at home: the best recipes for making homemade toffees
Toffee candy is a candy made with condensed milk, sugar, molasses, and butter. The French iris flower inspired the name of these sweets. French confectioner Josué de Mornas brought sweets to Russia in 1901. Toffees were gaining popularity among people, meanwhile the confectioner drew attention to the similar structure of the flower leaf and candy. This is how “Iris” candy came into being on sale. It was made for sale, because in France there were such candies for more than 50 years, only under the other name “taffy”.
The benefits of toffees
Iris sweets contain necessary and beneficial ingredients for the health of the body.
Vegetable oil gives us energy, which has a beneficial effect in the construction of new cells. Condensed milk contains a lot of fats and amino acids. Molasses provides us with good mood and energy. Toffees may contain additives, for example nuts, which have a beneficial effect on intellectual activity. In this case, toffee will be an irreplaceable product during the exam process.
Harm of toffees
There is also a negative impact from consuming such a product. Due to the sugar contained in these sweets, fat can accumulate, resulting in a disruption of metabolic processes. This can naturally happen if there are a lot of such sweets. Currently, people eat more calories than they burn. So, after we eat a delicious candy, we have to go jogging, so to speak, to maintain health.
Toffees are useful in small quantities, but eating a lot of them is not worth it, so as not to harm your health.
Toffee candy with sour cream
This recipe is easy to make. The toffees are not very sweet with a sour cream taste.

Ingredients for the recipe “Toffee with sour cream” (for 3 servings):
- 30 g - butter;
- 220 g – sugar;
- 220 g – sour cream.
Method for making homemade toffees with sour cream:
- To create toffee, we need similar amounts of sugar and sour cream, and not a huge amount of butter. You can also increase the proportion in order to create more toffee.
- In a small bowl, pour in sour cream and sugar. For this purpose, we need stainless steel utensils, since the delicacy will need to be cooked over a fire for a long time. The delicacy should boil over medium heat, but you should always stir it.
- At first, the treat will be covered in small bubbles. You should not leave the stove, because you need to stir it.
- A certain amount of time will pass, and the delicacy will resemble condensed milk. It is necessary to stir not only from above, but also from below, so that the mass does not stick to the bottom.
- Later, the delicacy will begin to take on a different color, thicken and become creamy, which means that the sweets will soon be ready. In order for the toffee to have a rich color, it needs to be cooked longer. It will naturally be more difficult to interfere, but you must try to do it quickly.
- And after receiving the appropriate color of the candies, you can remove them from the stove. Then add the oil and mix it well with the main mass.
- The next step is that the thick mass must be quickly found in molds or on a flat surface. Molds or any other surface on which you are going to place a thick mass can be greased with oil for better hardening.
- You can use different molds (glass, silicone, etc.). To make it easier to separate the toffees, you can immediately create cuts with a wet knife as soon as you put the toffee in the molds. Later we leave the toffee for some time to cool down.
- Remove the candies from the molds and divide them into portions. The quantity of these products according to the recipe yields 260 grams of toffee.

- Cut the lemon zest into medium-sized strips.
- Next, add the zest to the sweet mass.
- Later add cream and coffee. The strength of coffee affects the taste of the candies.
- The mass must be brought to a thickening point, but do not forget to stir it.
- The mass must be viscous. Cooking time is about 30 minutes.
- After the mass thickens, you need to pour it into molds. You can sprinkle coffee beans on top. Leave to cool.

Toffee candy manufacturing method:
Pour butter, sugar, salt and honey into a saucepan. Next, place it on the stove, stirring until completely dissolved. The mixture should boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thick for 30 minutes. The mixture will stretch like a thread. Pour the hot mixture into greased molds.
Let it cool, and then put it in the refrigerator overnight (that is, at night) . Due to the not very good properties of the cream, the mixture may not harden well. When it cooks, everything seems to be fine, the thickness is suitable, but after it sits overnight (that is, at night) in the refrigerator, the mass is viscous and thick, and the shape does not hold. We can get out of this situation for us using a freezer.
