A popular treat for Guy Fawkes night/Bonfire Night/5th November in the U.K. This is an easy treat for parents to make while kids watch (this is the safest way as there is very hot sugar involved). They will get a kick out of the last step because it is like a science experiment (see the video). If you’ve ever had a Cadbury’s Crunchie Bar it is just that. The toffee is delicious plain, but I prefer it just like the Crunchie, coated in chocolate. Whenever you are making a candy treat, I highly recommend using a thermometer because that is the only way you will know when the sugar is ready. How to break up the cinder toffee There’s no right or wrong way to break it up. I start it with the sharp tip of a knife to pierce the top and finish by breaking it up with my hands. All pieces are good and edible. Chocolate I use chocolate that I would eat because it melts well and firms up well. It also tastes better than baking chocolate. Milk and semi-sweet/dark are both delicious. Because this is a British recipe and uses Golden Syrup which is product from the U.K., and is not easily available in the U.S. I’ve included in the recipe substituting with light corn syrup. Same results are achieved with both syrups. More British Treats:
