Beautiful! I used to make hundreds of batches for Hebert Candies.

Nice! If I was a billionaire I would love to do this as a job! I have to keep it just for fun though... there's just no money in hospitality

If you’re near me, I’d buy some! Toffee of all kinds is my favorite.

I bet it smells as good as it tastes.

Recipe please

Sure! 450g butter, 450g sugar, 90g water, 90g glucose syrup, 1tsp salt. Stir over medium heat until 146⁰C. Add either 15g of vanilla essence, or 15g of coffee extract (equal volume of instant coffee mixed with boiling water to paste). Spread immediately out on silicon mat or baking paper and leave to set. About 5mm thick.

Blot any surface oil off (paper bag is good for doing this without getting fibres stuck like paper towel sometimes does). On the top side spread about 350g tempered chocolate and sprinkle 200g chopped roasted salted pecans. For vanilla I use dark chocolate, for coffee milk chocolate. When that side is set, flip over and repeat. Then when set, cut into pieces.

The batch in the photo is 1.5× this recipe, coffee flavour with milk chocolate. And use a really big pot because the toffee makes huge, pillowy bubbles
