Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup white corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 4 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. vanilla

Instructions

  • Spray a 9x13" pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Place sugar, water, and white corn syrup in a 12 cup or 3 L saucepan over medium heat and cook stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  • Bring to a boil, and cook without stirring. Brush down the crystals on the sides with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Cook until the hard crack stage of 300F or when 1 tsp. is dropped into water it forms hard brittle threads about 10 min.
  • Remove from the heat and being very careful to add baking soda. Add it all at once and quickly stir with a whisk. It will increase dramatically but just keep whisking, add the vanilla in now.
  • Working quickly pour toffee into the prepared pan. Let cool without disturbing until completely cool about 2 hours. Break into pieces.
  • Make ahead, store in an airtight container between layers of waxed paper for 1 month.
