: Temperature needed to make crunchy toffee I'm trying to make chocolate nut toffee and all the recipes I've found tells you to boil the toffee until it's dark brown. What temperature does it have to reach to achieve that?

Toffee is a confection made by caramelizing sugar or molasses
(creating inverted sugar) along with butter, and occasionally flour.
The mixture is heated until its temperature reaches the hard crack
stage of 149 to 154 °C (300 to 310 °F). While being prepared, toffee
is sometimes mixed with nuts or raisins.

Hope that helps...
