Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 220 grams light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
- 100 grams rice cereal
- 300 grams milk chocolate
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a 9x9 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once melted, add the light brown sugar, golden syrup, and heavy cream to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved completely.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for about 5 minutes without stirring, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Quickly fold in the rice cereal, ensuring all the cereal is coated evenly with the toffee mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down evenly with a spatula. Let it cool completely at room temperature.
While the toffee crisp base is cooling, melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, or in a microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Once the base is cooled, pour the melted chocolate over the top, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt if using.
Allow the toffee crisp to set completely until the chocolate hardens. This can be expedited by placing the dish in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Once set, lift the toffee crisp out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 12 bars. Serve and enjoy!
