Toffee Apples

Post by chickenchaser »

I bought two from Morris' son for 49p each!
:shock:
Must admit I love them and they do take me back to being a child.

Anyone got a simple recipe?

Hi Jackie

I dont eat them myself, but my grandson will! )t'

When i was a kid we always made our own!

My mum had a very sweet tooth LOL, she always made her own toffee!

i also would be interested in a good recipe

i tried to make a couple of years ago and ended up throwing the pan and the spoon away as they became attached to each other!!!!!

the toffee was like cement....i don,t know what went wrong!! :?

Poor you. Sounds as if the sugar wasn't dissolved before the fast boiling.
Can't you wash the apples and try again? )c+

:oops: I can't even throw them out for the blackbirds as the "toffee" has gone firm but chewy-like a penny chew that's got warm and would probably stick their beaks together. :oops:

Thanks for the advice PP, I will try again at the weekend )c+

I was really looking forward to them as well confused>
