English Toffee Gifts
- Purchase several types of toffee and combine those candies into a gift basket. Toffee apples have a thick coating of toffee on the outside, with a layer of roasted or salty nuts on top. When you bite into the treat, you get the sweetness of the apple, the salt from the nuts and the sweetness from the toffee. Sponge toffee is common in the UK and has a lighter consistency, due to bubbles incorporated into the candy. You can even add Crunchie bars, which are from the UK and Heath bars from the United States. Give the recipient a selection of toffee-based treats.
- Toffee is essentially just butter and sugar melted together and poured into a greased baking dish. Any other ingredients are a matter of personal preference. Make a chocolate English Toffee by adding chocolate chips to the top, while the toffee is still hot. For chocolate covered toffee, break the toffee into pieces once it cools and dip into melted chocolate. Mix and match the different types of toffee, making toffee with almonds, peanuts, white chocolate, cashews, dark chocolate and anything else the person might like. Store the toffee in small airtight containers or plastic bags.
- Those with diabetes or on a low-sugar diet can still enjoy English Toffee. The toffee is made in the traditional way, but with a sugar substitute as opposed to granulated sugar. The toffee has a similar consistency to the sugary original, but won't harm the person's diet. Opt for a box of sugar-free English Toffees and tie the box with a bright red ribbon.
- The rich, buttery taste of English Toffee pairs nicely with a hot cup of coffee. Combine the two tastes into a gift for the toffee lover. Fill a coffee mug with several toffee candies or a selection of toffees. Add multiple single serve packages of instant coffee. Finish the gift with toffee-flavored creamer, a spoon for mixing the coffee and individual packets of sugar.
