Toffee Covered Strawberries - A little sweet, a little tart. That's what strawberries dipped in a silky, salted vanilla flavored toffee taste like. Need I say more?

Servings: 12 -14

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup half a stick Unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • large pinch Kosher salt
  • large splash Vanilla extract
  • About 12-14 - Medium to Large Strawberries
  • Melted chocolate for drizzle, optional

Instructions

Make the toffee:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • To a small saucepan, add the sugar, butter, kosher salt, and vanilla extract over medium/ low heat, stirring occasionally to incorporate ingredients and ensure you don’t end up with a greasy mess. Insert a candy thermometer and bring the mixture to 285° Fahrenheit on a candy thermometer. The mixture should be a nice, amber color.
  • Remove the pan from heat and working very quickly (AND CAREFULLY!) dip the strawberries one at a time into the toffee. Swirl around to cover the strawberries with toffee and then place on the parchment lined cookie sheet. Drizzle with melted chocolate, if desired.
  • The toffee will last about 2 hours before the condensation from the strawberries begin to soften the toffee. It’s not a bad thing, but thin hard toffee is everything.
