Churro Toffee

Ingredients

  • 1 lb salted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 bags Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers

Cinnamon Sugar Churro Topping

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Place parchment paper in large 12 x 18” baking sheet.
  • Place the butter and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Mixture will come to a boil. Continue stirring occasionally—about every minute. Cook and boil until the mixture becomes a dark golden color (pictured above) or the temperature has reached 285 degrees F on a candy thermometer (soft crack stage).
  • As soon as toffee reaches temperature, pour into prepared baking sheet. At this point, you can leave whole, and let set up for 20 minutes in refrigerator. Melt wafers according to package directions and pour over each side of the toffee. Sprinkle each side with cinnamon/sugar mixture and let set up another 40 minutes. When set, break toffee into pieces and enjoy!
  • OR if you want your toffee to look just like the ones at Disneyland, after toffee sits in baking sheet for about 2-3 minutes, take a plastic knife and start cutting into squares, while toffee is still soft. Go over these lines at least 5-6 times as the toffee starts to continue setting up. Once you are happy with your squares, place in refrigerator and let set for at least 20 minutes. Melt wafers according to package directions and dip each square into chocolate. Place onto parchment paper and sprinkle each side with cinnamon/sugar mixture. Let set up another 40 minutes and enjoy!
