Pumpkin Toffee

Rich, buttery, pumpkin toffee with a hint of spice, the crunch of pumpkin seeds, and the smooth perfection of chocolate, white chocolate that is. This Pumpkin Toffee is a must make treat for Fall!

pumpkin spice toffee bitsI have an amazing toffee recipe that has been handed down in my family. It is an art that not many of the family have mastered making. I have not mastered it, that is for sure. In fact, I have failed so many times at making it, that I have decided to leave it to the experts.

I leave that toffee to my Grandpa, and greedily stash some away each Christmas when he makes it so I can enjoy it all year. But I have been dreaming about Pumpkin Toffee.

When LorAnn sent us oils and emulsions, and I got a Pumpkin Spice emulsion, I knew I had to give toffee making a shot. So I opted to make a few changes to the family recipe and instead try something a little easier for the distracted home cook.

Traditionally a toffee will include nuts, or something, and I kept thinking how wonderful the nutty, salty, crunchy goodness that is pumpkin seeds would be instead of a different nut.

It was a great combination, and tasted just like Fall should. Earthy, sweet, spicy, and buttery! It made me want to start a fire, pull a scarf out to wind about my neck, and wear long slipper socks around the house.

toffeeI have been sharing a lot of pumpkin recipes lately:

  • < Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal Squares
  •  Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
  • Pumpkin Poke Cake
  • Pumpkin Pie (Classic)
  • Pumpkin Almond Cookies
  • Pumpkin Spice Bars

This Pumpkin Toffee is probably my favorite pumpkin recipe yet. The LorAnn oil made it amazingly flavorful without requiring very much. And my house smelled seriously amazing while it was cooking.

I wanted to dive in, but since I had a candy thermometer sticking out of it, I knew it was much too hot for actual diving. And so I waited, though not very patiently for Pumpkin Toffeeto harden.  I am a sucker for ease and convenience in the kitchen so I found this

that has a magnet on is so I can stick it on the fridge or the bbq grill and I don’t have to dig for it in a drawer when I need to find it.

    Total Time: 50 minutes minutes

    Author: Rachael Yerkes

    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups butter 3 cubes
    • 1 1/2 Tsp Pumpkin Spice Emulsion LorAnn
    • 2 1/2 Tbs dark Karo syrup
    • 4 Tbs Water
    • 2 scant cups sugar
    • 1 bag white chocolate chips
    • 1 cup roasted pumpkin seeds the little green ones

    Instructions

    • In a heavy sauce pan, over medium heat, melt your butter.
    • Add Pumpkin Spice Emulsion, Dark Karo Syrup and Water, one at a time, stirring after each addition.
    • Add sugar and stir.
    • Cook, allowing mixture to come to a slow boil until it reaches 280 degrees or soft crack stage. It should take 30-40 minutes.
    • Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. I like the Silicon Baking Matbecause you can reuse them.
    • Pour toffee mix over and let it spread across the paper
    • While still hot, place half the chocolate chips over the top, and using a spatula, spread the chocolate as it melts to get an even coating.
    • Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over the top of that.
    • Place two sheets of parchment or wax paper on top, and get another cookie sheet that is the same size. Place it over the toffee and flip it.
    • Then slide the toffee back into the original cookie sheet.
    • Add the other half of the white chocolate chips to this side, and once melted slightly spread with spatula.
    • Let cool and allow chocolate to harden, then break into pieces and enjoy!

    Notes

    If it is rainy, do not make toffee, wait a day after as the humidity in the air can interfere with the toffee turning out.
    If cooking in a humid climate, consider running a dehumidifier in the kitchen while making your toffee
    You can substitute other nuts or seeds for pumpkin, include them in the toffee itself, or leave them off completely if desired. Depending on the size, you may want to chop them.

    Great idea to make toffee with our Pumpkin Spice Emulsion! We have lots of businesses that use our flavorings in their artisan toffee. You should consider selling this! It looks as good (and I’m sure tastes as good or better!) as the amazing confections we see at the Fancy Food Shows that we attend.
