Squidgy Toffee Balls
These delicious, squishy toffee balls will be popular with children and adults alike. The key to making them is to keep stirring - this will stop from them from burning.
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 1 hour (varies)
Makes: 20 servings (you can double the quantities to make even more)
Ingredients
1 tin of condensed milk
2 tbsp Demerara sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
30 g butter
Method
Put the butter, sugar, and syrup into a large heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir over a low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the condensed milk, and contine to stir.
Cook over a low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring constantly (or the mixture will burn).
The mixture should slowly get thicker and darker as the cooking time goes on.
Once the mixture looks a really deep golden-brown remove from the heat.
Cover a large tray with non-stick baking parchment.
Using two teaspoons, spoon out tea-spoon sized blobs of the mixture onto the tray.
Leave to get completely cold, and then roll between your hands to turn into round balls.
If the mixture doesn't maintain its shape in the balls, then you haven't cooked it for long enough. Return to the pan and cook until it does maintain shape.
Wrap the balls in shiny foil, or pop them each in a petit fours case.
