Christmas Reserve and mulling spiced toffee
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup water
  • ¾ cup molasses
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Starbucks Reserve Christmas blend, ground very fine
  • 1 tablespoon mulling spices, ground*
  • pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
  1. Prepare a square baking dish with non stick spray. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine all all of the ingredients over a low-medium heat. Stir to melt the butter and dissolve the sugar.
  3. Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up a little bit and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring from time to time. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and allow to cook until you reach 260 degrees (hard ball stage).
  4. Remove pan from heat and give it a quick stir before pouring into the prepared pan. Let cool completely (or overnight) before breaking it into pieces.
  5. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
* if you do not have mulling spices available, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground cardamom and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon as a substitution.
