Toffee Bugles Recipes

Steps:

• Bring sugar, margarine, and syrup to a boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add baking soda. Stir. Pour over Bugles in a large bowl sprayed with Pam. (This makes clean up so much easier.) Quickly toss and spread on a 10X15 inch pan, sprayed with Pam. Bake at 250Degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Pour onto parchment paper, or wax paper sprayed with Pam. Quickly separate pieces. Let cool, and store in a sealed container.

Steps:

• Place the apples in a large bowl, then cover with boiling water (you may have to do this in 2 batches). This will remove the waxy coating and help the caramel to stick. Dry thoroughly and twist off any stalks. Push a wooden skewer or lolly stick into the stalk end of each apple.
• Lay out a sheet of baking parchment and place the apples on this, close to your stovetop. Tip the sugar into a pan along with 100ml water and set over a medium heat. Cook for 5 mins until the sugar dissolves, then stir in the vinegar and syrup. Set a sugar thermometer in the pan and boil to 150C or 'hard crack' stage. If you don't have a thermometer you can test the toffee by pouring a little into a bowl of cold water. It should harden instantly and, when removed, be brittle and easy to break. If you can still squish the toffee, continue to boil it.
• Working quickly and carefully, dip and twist each apple in the hot toffee until covered, let any excess drip away, then place on the baking parchment to harden. You may have to heat the toffee a little if the temperature drops and it starts to feel thick and viscous. Leave the toffee to cool before eating. Can be made up to 2 days in advance, stored in a dry place.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients.
• 2. In a medium-size bowl, combine dry ingredients.
• 3. Add 1/3 of dry ingredients to wet ingredients and thoroughly mix. Continue to add dry ingredients in 1/3 increments until all ingredients are combine.
• 4. Add in white chocolate chips and toffee bits. The dough is a bit dry so I use my hands to combine these ingredients into the dough.
• 5. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or wrap dough in plastic wrap.
• 6. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 2 to 24 hours before baking.
• 7. I used a 1 1/2 inch cookie scoop to scoop out the dough and put them on your parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
• 8. Bake at 375 degrees for 9-11 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut a small hole in the corner of a plastic bag with peanut butter. Pipe the peanut butter into the Bugles. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy coating at 70% power for 1-1/2 minutes; stir. Heat 1 to 1-1/2 minutes longer or until melted; stir until smooth. Dip the filled end of Bugles halfway in coating. Place on waxed paper to dry.

Steps:

• In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.
• While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. Putting a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
• Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Line the base and sides of an A4 sized tin with non-stick parchment and then grease it really well.
• Put the sugar and hot water in a heavy bottomed pan and heat gently until the sugar is dissolved, do not stir the mixture at any point instead tilt the pan if you need to move it around.
• Weigh out your remaining ingredients, if you put them in a really well greased jug they will be much easier to pour out. Once the sugar has dissolved add all the ingredients and pop the sugar thermometer in, you can use the thermometer to give it a quick swirl but try not to mix it too much.
• Bring to the boil and boil until you reach soft crack on your thermometer (270/140C) This may take up to 30 minutes, be patient and do not leave the pan unattended as it can change quickly. As soon as it reaches the temp, tip it into your tin and leave it to cool.
• Once cool remove it from the tin a break up with a toffee hammer or rolling pin. Store in an airtight tin or wrap up in boxes or cellophane bags to give as gift.
