Chocolate Triscuit Toffee Recipes

CHOCOLATE TOFFEE BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened. Fold in chocolate chips and toffee bits. , Drop by 2 tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 425° for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm., Freeze option: Freeze cooled biscuits in resealable plastic freezer bags. To use, heat in a preheated 350° oven 15-20 minutes.

TRISCUIT CHOCOLATE COVERED CRACKERS

Steps:

• Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In microwave or small double boiler, use low to medium heat to melt semi-sweet chocolate chips, stirring occasionally until smooth.
• Dip crackers into chocolate and place on parchment paper. When all crackers have been dipped, sprinkle with salt or sugar if desired and place in fridge to set.
• Alternatively, chill crackers for approximately five minutes. Melt white chocolate chips and drizzle over crackers.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED TOFFEE

Steps:

• Prepare a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or greased parchment or wax paper.
• In a large sized heavy-bottomed sauce pan, with a candy thermometer attached, bring all the ingredients, excluding the chocolate, to a boil over medium low heat.
• Continue to cook and stir the mixture until it reads 275 degrees F on the candy thermometer.
• The mixture will be much thicker. Stir constantly until it reaches 315 degrees F, which will happen pretty quickly. Remove it from the heat and stir until very smooth, just a few seconds.
• Pour the toffee onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Using a spatula, spread the toffee out, working quickly because the toffee will set fast.
• Using a pastry wheel or pizza cutter, VERY GENTLY (you don't want to cut so deep that it actually reaches the bottom or you may destroy your silpat) score the toffee into bite sized pieces.
• You should get about 72 pieces. Again work quickly so the toffee doesn't set before you are done.
• Allow the toffee to sit until it is room temperature and then break apart the pieces.
• Melt the chocolate over a double boiler until perfectly smooth. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to just above room temperature. If the chocolate is too hot it will run off the toffee and not give you a nice coating, if it is too cold it will be too thick to work with.
• Set up a second baking sheet with a sheet of parchment or wax paper.
• Drop a piece of the toffee into the chocolate. Use a fork to flip the toffee over to coat the other side.
• Lift the covered toffee from the chocolate and shake gently to allow the excess to fall away.
• In order to get a nice smooth bottom, you want to scrape the bottom of the fork on the edge of the bowl, before laying it on the parchment to harden.
• If you want to sprinkle with toasted nuts and sea salt, this is the time.
• Continue dipping until they are all covered in chocolate. Allow them to sit out in a cool spot to set up or you can set them in the refrigerator for a few minutes until they are firm.
• Fill decorative bags as gifts for Valentine's Day.

CHOCOLATE TRISCUIT TOFFEE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet with foil. Line baking sheet with Triscuit Crackers in single layer, making sure cracker edges touch.
• In small saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar - bring to boil and boil for 2-3 minutes. Pour caramel mixture over Triscuit Crackers making sure all are covered evenly.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until sauce bubbles over surface. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips. Put back in oven 1 minute to melt chips. Remove from oven and spread chocolate evenly over Triscuit Crackers with spatula. Let cool completely in refrigerator and break into squares. Once cool, store in airtight container.

CHOCOLATE TOFFEE

Steps:

• Line a sided sheet pan with a silicone baking mat, or oil it well with vegetable oil (or use a heavyweight nonstick sheet pan).
• Pour the sugar into the center of a saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Pour the water around the edge of the pan and wait to allow the water to moisten the sugar. (You can draw a clean finger through the center of the pan to allow some water to seep in.) Add the corn syrup and bring to a boil. Add the butter and boil until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F.
• Turn off the heat and whisk in the cocoa; then stir in the nuts. Quickly pour the mixture onto the center of the prepared pan and let it spread out - it may not reach the sides of the pan. Set aside to cool at room temperature until hard. Using your hands (I wear gloves to avoid fingerprints), pry the toffee out of the pan and break into large pieces. Store in an airtight container. The toffee will keep well for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.

CHOCOLATE TOFFEE TRIFLE

Steps:

• Bake the cake in a 13 by 9-inch baking pan according to the package's directions. Pour pudding into a bowl and add milk and Kahlua; mix well. Leave Heath bars in wrappers and pound with a hammer to crush.
• In a very large pretty Trifle dish or glass bowl, layer in this order:
• 1/2 the cake cubes
• 1/2 the pudding mixture
• 1/2 the whipped cream
• 1/2 the Heath bars
• Repeat layers. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED BUTTER TOFFEE

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, salt, water and butter. Cook until mixture reaches 285° (soft-crack stage). Add 1/2 cup nuts. Pour onto a well-greased jelly roll pan or baking sheet; cool. Melt half of the chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave. Spread over cooled toffee and sprinkle with 1/4 cup nuts. Cool. Turn over onto another sheet of waxed paper; repeat with remaining chocolate chips and nuts. When cool, break into pieces.
