Knäck (Swedish Toffee)


Ingredients:
1/2 loving cup sugar
1/2 loving cup ljus sirap*
two tablespoons butter
1/2 loving cup heavy cream
1/2 loving cup chopped blanched almonds

Directions:

Arrange the newspaper cups on a baking canvass or platter. Set aside.

Whisk together the sugar, syrup, butter together with cream inwards a heavy bottomed two quart saucepan. Cook over depression heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture forms a trouble solid "hard" ball when dropped into a drinking glass of real mutual frigidity water. Stir inwards nuts together with split upward chop-chop into real pocket-size newspaper candy cups.

*Swedish low-cal syrup. I purchase it at Ikea or stores that sell European and/or Scandinavian ingredients. Golden syrup is an acceptable substitute.



Yield: close thirty candies

My thoughts:
Knäck translates into "crack" which makes feel because this thick toffee is quite crisp together with cracks when you lot seize amongst teeth into it. It has a almost burnt saccharide flavour to it cheers to the syrup together with the almonds provide a delicious, nutty crunch. It is the perfect add-on to a vacation dessert table.

The candy is slowly to brand together with inwards pocket-size batches similar this i (you tin can double this recipe successfully) it cooks upward real quickly. The most hard business office is pouring the mixture into the cups. They are quite pocket-size together with easily tip over. The liquid is too very, real hot nonetheless cools rapidly together with then i has to run real chop-chop to fill upward the cups earlier the mixture cools together with hardens. I transferred my molten mixture into a large, drinking glass measurement loving cup amongst a lip for slowly pouring. Take care, you lot don't desire to post away yourself for the sake of candy!

Note: The candy should endure made inwards tiny waxed newspaper cups. I respect mine at Ikea during the wintertime precisely I've seen similar sized cups at candy render shops. Any store that sells Swedish cooking together with baking items should own got them inwards stock equally well. They are close 1/2 the size of a mini muffin liner.
