One Christmas I dreamed this recipe up when making butter crunch 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)
- 3 cups dried cranberries
Directions
- Grease a 15x10x1-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 side of saucepan). Refrigerate for 1 hour or until hard.
- Break toffee into pieces. Place in a food processor; cover and process until coarsely chopped. Divide in half; set aside.
- Butter two 15x10x1-in. pans with remaining 1 tsp. butter. In a microwave, melt 4 cups white candy coating. Stir in 1-1/2 cups dried cranberries and half the toffee pieces.
- Pour into 1 prepared pan; spread to edges. Repeat with remaining white candy coating, dried cranberries and toffee pieces. Refrigerate until firm. Break into pieces.
