One Christmas I dreamed this recipe up when making buttercrunch toffee. It is an addictive treat that disappears fast.Heather Ferris, Vanderhoof, British Columbia Ingredients:
1-1/2 teaspoons plus 1 cup butter, divided |
1 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons water |
8 cups chopped white candy coating (about 3 pounds), divided |
3 cups dried cranberries, divided |
Directions:
1. Grease a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan with 1/2 teaspoon butter. In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, bring 1 cup butter, sugar and water to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 290° (soft-crack stage). Pour into prepared pan (do not scrape sides of saucepan). Refrigerate for 1 hour or until hard.
2. Break toffee into pieces. Place in a food processor; cover and process until coarsely chopped. Divide in half; set aside.
3. Butter two 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pans with remaining butter. In a microwave, melt 4 cups white candy coating. Stir in 1-1/2 cups dried cranberries and half of reserved toffee pieces.
4. Pour onto one prepared pan; spread to edges of pan. Repeat with remaining white candy coating, dried cranberries and toffee pieces. Yield: 4 pounds.
