Coffee Toffee

I’ve always really enjoyed toffee when it shows up on party buffets and in other people’s Christmas baking repertoires, but for some reason it had never occurred to me to make my own. When I saw the recipe for Coffee Toffee on one of the blogs I read frequently, I could resist no longer.
Smooth, buttery, with a nice crunch and a chocolate top, this toffee is just as hard to resist in person as it was on the web. The coffee and molasses give it a nice smooth depth without being overpowering. Matt, a non-coffee drinker, tells me that he can taste the coffee and would prefer the toffee without it, but the coffee flavor isn’t so overpowering that he hasn’t been sneaking bites of this whenever the tupperware is handy, too.
You can get the recipe by heading over to the Smitten Kitchen blog, where you’ll also find step by step photos of the process. (I’m not that coordinated with my food photography!) Coffee Toffee recipe on Smitten Kitchen
