Toffee is moderately sweet, not greasy or sticky, and melts in your mouth, giving off a strong aroma. Some toffee is better in taste and texture by adding nuts or dried fruits, which many people like to eat.
The traditional method of making toffee is to boil molasses brown sugar until it is very thick, and then stir this substance by hand or machine until the candy becomes shiny and can keep its solid shape. Now toffee is made by large-scale machine, which is generally made of condensed milk, cocoa liquor, cream, glucose syrup, vanillin and hazelnut through thorough stirring and baking.
In addition to the basic toffee, other materials can be added during the production, such as milk toffee, almonds, hazelnuts, strawberries, cherries, oranges and pineapples.
