Why does the chocolate fall off of my homemade toffee?

by Sharon
(Cedar, Minnesota)

I have made this toffee recepe for about 4 years. Every time I go to put the chocolate on top it falls off once the chocolate has cooled.


I do let the toffee cool a day and then I put the chocolate on top.


I do not know if the toffee should return to room temperature or if I should dab the butter?


I do not do either. Would that help?





Hi Sharon,

Yes, dabbing or wiping off all of the excess butter from the toffee before adding the melted chocolate will help the chocolate to stick to the homemade toffee much better.

Also, I believe you'll have more success if you allow the toffee to come to room temperature before adding the melted chocolate.


Let us know if this solves the problem for you this time when making your chocolate toffee.

After 25 yrs with no problems, my chocolate falls off too!
by: Anonymous

I'd been successfully making toffee for 25 years but a few years ago the chocolate started falling off the finished product. I'm wondering if its because I started heating the chocolate in the microwave as opposed to using a double boiler? I've had limited success with wiping the excess butter off the cooled toffee. Seems that most recipes say to let the chocolate chips melt ON the hot toffee after its been poured into the pan. Maybe I'll try that?
Toffee

I ALWAYS put the chocolate on the toffee right after the hot candy has been spread out on a cookie sheet. I use chocolate chips and I let them melt for a few minutes, then I spread them out on the still hot candy. After that I sprinkle on finely chopped pecans. I finally let the candy cool for 30-40 minutes before breaking it into pieces. I've never had any trouble with the chocolate falling off.
My recipe is from a 1956 Betty Crocker and it is fantastic.
