Cinnamon Toffee

This spiced-up cinnamon toffee is great for holiday gift-giving and adding to other decadent desserts. I’ve added it to a Spice Cake.

Cinnamon Toffee with Chocolate Covered  Cocoa Nibs

I have to admit that I almost didn’t have a recipe to share with you this week. Life gets busy, especially with the holidays, and I just didn’t get around to making the cake that I really wanted. However, I did have time to make this amazing Nutmeg Spiced Cake with Rum Buttercream and Cinnamon Spiced Toffee with chocolate covered cocoa nibs. It took me all of two hours, start to finish to make this dessert.

Yes, I made toffee just a few recipes ago with the Pumpkin Pie, but this is a different set of directions with no need for a candy thermometer.

I wanted to dress it up a bit, so I’ve added in some cinnamon and some chocolate covered cocoa nibs. I was looking for just the cocoa nibs, but didn’t have any luck here in West Virginia. Thankfully, I did have a small container of the chocolate covered nibs and decided to use that instead.

I liked this recipe with the nibs but it was the cinnamon that I enjoyed the most. Don’t add too much, just a pinch is all you need to kick it up a bit.

I also didn’t thin this too much and I liked that this toffee was a bit thicker.

 This would also be a great hostess gift to give this holiday season.

I’ve been snacking on the extra toffee! I know I’d love to get a gift bag of these.

This recipe is part one of a three-part series including Rum Buttercream Frosting and Nutmeg Spice Cake.

Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Additional Time 45 minutes

Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 Tablespoon butter
• dash of cinnamon
• 1/4 cup chocolate-covered cocoa nibs (plain nibs if you can find them)
• pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Spread some butter over paper or spray it with cooking spray.
2. Put the sugar into a heavy-bottomed pot and pour in the water. Mix the water into the sugar to coat all of it. Turn the heat on high and leave the pan alone. Do not stir it or mix it. Let the mixture come to a boil then wait for it to start turning light brown. Now, stir it so it’s evenly heated.
3. As soon as it turns amber, turn off the heat and mix in the butter and cinnamon. It will bubble and foam, just stir it until it lessens.
4. Pour onto the cookie sheet and sprinkle on the cocoa nibs. Tilt the pan back and forth to spread the toffee and coat the candy.
5. Leave it to harden and cool for 45 minutes. Break apart and enjoy.
