I tried making it.. and they burned. pretty bad too. I even got a candy thermometer and sat there and watched it, and before ya know it, the place was smokey and i had to open a window! yikes. I guess next time I should just let it get to 275 and then just take it off because it started when I was waiting for it to go up to 315. waaaaah!

Hi Emilie,

Sorry I missed your question before. It will work beautifully with coffee or espresso powder. Happy Belated Birthday!

Hi Janet,

My pan is a 2 1/2 quart Calphalon. I love it and use it for all kinds of things.

Hi Dawn,

I warned you about the addictive nature of this candy!

Thanks, Zoë

Thanks so much for the recipe,Zoe; it looks gorgeous!
What size and brand of saucepan is that which you used? I must invest in a heavy bottomed pot for candy making………always nearly scorch my mixtures. Any info or suggestions on the saucepan is appreciated!

Hi DebB,

Going to 315 may make them a bit harder than ones cooked to 300 degrees. Are the toffees you made very brittle? I’d have to try it to know for sure? Sounds like a tasty experiment!

Thanks, Zoë

Hi Zoe,
I noticed in your recipe you cook the candy to 315 and all of the other toffee recipes I have seen only cook until 300.
Is there an difference in the final texture of toffee cooked to 315 vs 300?
Thanks!

Hi Zoe! Once again you’ve made something that I just had to try! These Coffee Toffees are delicious and I’ve made a whole bunch to send to family members for Christmas. Mine were not nearly as pretty as yours, but I’m more concerned about flavor. Thank you!

The toffee looks nothing short of fabulous! Love the “Z”! I make toffee for my neighbors at Christmas each year, I think I’ll change it up this year and do it your way- very beautiful.
