I find it funny that people sometimes use the keyphrase ‘caramel toffee’ or just ‘caramel’ and ‘toffee’ to reach my blog. I bet they’re disappointed when they the blog has nothing to do with caramel toffee. Lol, so here’s to future random people who stumbled into my blog for the sake of caramel toffee.

Hey, I wouldn’t have chosen this domain name if I didn’t know how to make some! You can try making your own caramel toffee if you’re bored enough and have the following ingredients:

1 can of sweetened condensed milk
100 grams butter (salted, unsalted, I don’t care)
1 cup sugar
2 cups of honey (or corn syrup)*

*If you don’t have corn syrup or honey, here’s what you can do:
boil 2 cups sugar with 1/2 cup of water until the mixture looks all gooey =D

First, boil the unopened condensed milk in a bath. Don’t open it. Just pour water into some kind of bowl or something and put the can of milk in. Boil for 1 1/2 or up to 2 hours. Make sure the can is always covered by water (so that it boils properly)

Open the can after letting it boil. Don’t burn your hand! I bet you know what to use to touch the can ^^ Beat the milk with butter, sugar and honey. Stir until the mixture looks smooth.

Boil again. No, not in a bath. Just boil the mixture. Don’t burn it! Boil for around 20 to 40 minutes.

Pour the mixture into some shallow tupperware or something to let cool. I suggest a shallow one so that it’s easier for you to flip the container over and get the hardened mixture out.

After it’s completely hardened, flip the container and cut into pieces. There’s your caramel toffee.

p.s/ Ok, no complaining about my method of giving instruction. I’m trying to be as laidback as possible. I just don’t want to be like a robot, giving instructions like ‘first, this…’, ‘second, this’ and so on. Just ask if you have questions.
